Dr. Rahul Gupta

Dr. Rahul Gupta is a highly accomplished neurosurgeon at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram, specialising in minimally invasive spine surgery, skull base surgery and complex brain tumour surgery. With over 22 years of neurosurgical experience and a specialised Fellowship in Spine Surgery from Germany, he brings an international dimension to his practice reflected in both his surgical techniques and clinical outcomes. After completing MBBS, MS in General Surgery and MCh in Neurosurgery in India, Dr. Gupta undertook a Fellowship in Spine Surgery in Germany – globally renowned for excellence in spinal surgery training and for pioneering minimally invasive spine approaches. This fellowship immersed him in advanced endoscopic spine surgery, motion-preserving cervical disc replacement, complex deformity correction and image-guided spinal navigation – competencies he has brought to his practice at Fortis FMRI. Minimally invasive spine surgery is Dr. Gupta's signature contribution to neurosurgical practice at Fortis FMRI. He performs endoscopic discectomy, tubular microdiscectomy, minimally invasive TLIF and PLIF fusions, and cervical disc replacement as alternatives to traditional open surgery – offering patients significantly reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain and faster return to normal activity. His image-guided spinal navigation using O-arm and BrainLab platforms ensures accuracy matching the best spine centres internationally. In cranial neurosurgery, Dr. Gupta performs craniotomies for brain tumours, vascular malformations and skull base pathology using neuro-navigation and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. His skull base surgery includes extended endoscopic endonasal approaches to pituitary tumours, craniopharyngiomas and anterior skull base meningiomas – minimally invasive approaches avoiding open craniotomy for selected indications. He has performed over 5,000 complex neurosurgical procedures across cranial and spinal surgery. An international academic, Dr. Gupta presents at NASS and AO Spine congresses and maintains active research collaborations with neurosurgical centres in Germany and Europe. He is a faculty member at Fortis's neurosurgery training programme and has been recognised with the SANS Award for Spine Surgery Excellence and the Fortis Group Best Neurosurgeon Award. For patients in Delhi NCR requiring minimally invasive spine surgery, complex cranial surgery or skull base neurosurgery, Dr. Rahul Gupta at Fortis Memorial Research Institute offers internationally trained expertise, technological sophistication and a commitment to achieving best possible neurological outcomes with least surgical morbidity.
