About Prof. Dr. Syed Shahzad Hussain:
Professor Dr. Syed Shahzad Hussain Shah is a consultant Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon with over twenty years of high-volume experience, currently Heading one of the Neurosurgery Units at Lahore General Hospital / Punjab Institute of Neurosciences and consulting privately at our hospital in Lahore. Trained and tempered in some of the country’s busiest centres—including Lahore General Hospital and Jinnah Hospital, Lahore—he brings a calm, outcomes-focused approach to complex brain and spine disease. Patients choose Professor Syed Shahzad Hussain Shah for clear, compassionate decision-making, timely second opinions, and meticulous surgical planning that aligns the safest technique with each patient’s goals.
His clinical practice spans the full spectrum of modern neurosurgery: paediatric neurosurgery, neuro-oncology (including skull-base and malignant gliomas), comprehensive cerebrovascular surgery (aneurysms, AVMs, bypass) with hybrid open–endovascular strategies, advanced spine surgery (degenerative, deformity, trauma, tumours), and functional/pain procedures. He has particular mastery in minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques—especially endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery, endoscopic ceanial and spine surgery and precision vascular microsurgery. Professor Shah’s operative workflows integrate neuronavigation, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, DTI-guided tractography, endoscopy, and fluorescence/ICG angiography to maximise resection or repair while protecting eloquent brain and spinal pathways.
From first consultation to recovery, Professor Syed Shahzad Hussain Shah practices a tightly coordinated, evidence-based pathway: pre-habilitation and risk optimisation; conservative options when appropriate; definitive surgery when indicated; and enhanced-recovery protocols to reduce pain, blood loss, and hospital stay. Multidisciplinary tumour boards, spine–pain conferences, and hybrid-OR access ensure that each patient receives the most effective, least disruptive treatment available. With an active mentorship programme and a strong academic footprint, he translates new knowledge into everyday care—so patients benefit from techniques that are both cutting-edge and time-tested.
