SKIMS Performs First STA-MCA Bypass for Moya-Moya Disease in J&K
Department of Neurosurgery at SKIMS, Soura, has successfully performed the first direct vascular bypass surgery (STA-MCA) in Jammu and Kashmir for a patient suffering from Moya-Moya disease — a rare and progressive brain condition.

The complex six-hour procedure involved connecting a healthy blood vessel from outside the brain (superficial temporal artery) directly to a diseased vessel inside the brain (middle cerebral artery), allowing for immediate improvement in brain blood flow. The patient, an adult who had suffered multiple strokes due to the condition, was discharged in stable condition after a successful surgery with no complications.

Moya-Moya disease, mostly reported in East Asian countries like Japan, narrows brain arteries and leads to the formation of fragile vessels that resemble a “puff of smoke” on scans. It can cause strokes and seizures, particularly in children. Treatment often requires surgical intervention to restore proper blood circulation.

While SKIMS had previously managed such cases using indirect techniques like Encephalo-Dura-Myo-Arterio-Synangiosis (EDMAS), this was the institute’s first direct bypass surgery, marking a major leap in neurovascular care within the region.

The surgery was led by Dr. Nayil Khursheed, Professor of Neurosurgery, with support from Dr. Farooq Ahmad Ganie, Associate Professor of CVTS, and Dr. Zulfikar Ali, Additional Professor of Neuroanesthesia. Intraoperative assessments confirmed excellent blood flow through the bypass, ensuring a successful outcome.

Director SKIMS, Dr. (Prof.) M. Ashraf Ganie, congratulated the team, stating, “This ground-breaking surgery puts SKIMS on the national map of centers capable of performing such advanced procedures with precision and excellence.”

The Department of Neurosurgery at SKIMS is now planning to produce educational material to assist other neurosurgical centers across the valley in handling similar cases. This development marks a new chapter in providing state-of-the-art neurosurgical interventions to patients in Kashmir.

SKIMS MC Urges Responsible Reporting as Decade-Old “Fake Doctor” Case Resurfacing in Media"
A decade-old issue regarding a "Fake Doctor at SKIMS" has resurfaced on various social media platforms and news portals, with some media agencies circulating misleading information under sensational headlines.
SKIMS Medical College & Hospital, Bemina, deems it necessary to clarify and set the record straight to prevent the spread of misinformation and protect the integrity of the institution.
SKIMS MC & Hospital is a reputed medical institution, committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity, transparency, and medical ethics. Our alumni, who serve with distinction across the world, are a testament to our credibility and longstanding dedication to excellence in medical education and healthcare.
The case in question pertains to Mr. Nouman Farooq Wani, who was appointed as a Junior Resident through a routine selection process for a tenure post over ten years ago. During the document verification process, his certificates were found to be forged. The matter was immediately handed over to law enforcement agencies for necessary legal action at that time.
We urge media outlets and the public to exercise caution and responsibility when posting or sharing content on social media. Resurfacing outdated issues without factual verification not only misleads the public but also undermines the credibility of responsible journalism and public institutions.
We respectfully request media houses to refrain from circulating unverified reports and to seek clarification from relevant authorities when in doubt. It is imperative to project matters in the correct context, especially when dealing with public institutions entrusted with critical responsibilities.
