About

Dr. Mihir Munshi is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work bridges the intricate worlds of spinal oncology and minimally invasive surgical techniques. His research centers on the management of rare spinal and nerve root pathologies, with a particular focus on pre-coccygeal tumors and complex nerve root lesions. Dr. Munshi’s most cited paper, “Robotic excision of a pre-coccygeal nerve root tumor” (2014, 8 citations), is a landmark case study detailing the first reported robotic-assisted resection of a pre-coccygeal ganglioneuroma—a rare, benign tumor discovered incidentally during infertility workup in a young patient. This work demonstrated the feasibility and precision of robotic technology in accessing anatomically challenging regions, setting a new standard for minimally invasive spinal surgery. By showcasing a novel approach to a rare entity, Dr. Munshi has provided a critical reference for surgeons managing similar cases, emphasizing the importance of advanced surgical planning and interdisciplinary collaboration. His contributions continue to inspire innovation in the field, offering safer, more effective options for patients with complex spinal conditions.
