My accreditation as a neurosurgeon was via the London University training scheme. I worked in the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery,at The King's College Hospital, The Royal Free Hospital and at Hammersmith Hospital.My main clinical interest is minimally invasive neurosurgery, either head surgery or spinal surgery.Minimally invasive surgery results in a shorter hospital stay, more rapid patient recovery and less scarring. Some of the innovative work I have been involved in includes:
Development of these techniques has been the subject of significant public interest and has attracted attention from local and national newspapers, TV and radio.
When I talk about minimally invasive surgery, I mean that the surgical exposure is as small as possible and is safe to deal with the underlying medical problem. During spinal surgery, we use a system called 'the matrix' which is a system of probes that progressively open up tracks to allow removal of disc bulges. This may be combined with fusion of the spine through keyhole exposure. With spinal surgery most patients will be up and about one day after surgery, and will go on to leave hospital in 2-3 days and return to normal daily activities within a week or two. With brain surgery we can remove large tumours through incisions of around 3-4 centimetres using microscopes, endoscopes and neuro-navigation (the same as having a sat nav for the brain!).I see neurosurgery becoming less invasive with the development of new technology and instruments, which will make life easier and safer for our patients.
