Professor Amarjit Anand

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust and the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).

I specialise in minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS). I offer some of the latest and most advanced innovations in spinal surgery using percutaneous, microscopic and endoscopic techniques.

Furthermore, I specialise in the assessment and treatment of spinal conditions affecting the neck, back and nerves, helping patients with back pain, sciatica, neck and arm pain, pins and needles, and numbness. My practice covers a full range of modern, minimally invasive and surgical treatments, including basivertebral nerve ablation (BVN) for vertebrogenic low back pain, cervical spine surgery – anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical disc replacement (CDR), MIS posterior cervical decompression and fusion, coccygectomy/tailbone pain, lumbar decompression surgery for spinal stenosis, lumbar spinal fusion - MIS TLIF - for instability, spondylolisthesis, microdiscectomy and tubular microdiscectomy for disc prolapse/sciatica/radiculopathy/slipped disc, MIS sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion - SI-Bone / SI-LOK, provided for back pain, sciatica, neck pain, arm pain, pins and needles, numbness, radiofrequency denervation (rhizolysis) - entire spine. Revision surgery/failed back surgery/2nd opinions, spinal injections - entire spine - cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, transforaminal discectomy via Kambin's triangle using a laser. Transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy/decompression (TELD), vertebroplasty/balloon kyphoplasty/sphereplast - for osteoporotic spinal fractures and I also treat children and young people from 12 to 18 years.

I graduated from The Royal Free and University College London (UCL) Medical School in 2005. My BSc in Orthopaedic Science at the Royal National Orthopaedic Centre (RNOH) focussed on cell-based regenerative techniques for the intervertebral disc. I trained in the Oxford and Cambridge rotation as a junior doctor. I completed my Trauma and Orthopaedic SpR training on the London NW Thames Rotation. During my training, I was an Anatomy Demonstrator/lecturer at Oxford University.

I was elected onto the British Orthopaedic Trainee Association (BOTA), Specialist Training Committee (STC) and British Association of Spinal Surgeons (BASS) Executive Committee. I was awarded the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) Presidents Gold Medal Podium Prize in 2012.

I have received specialist training in spinal surgery at St Marys Hospital Major Trauma Centre, Charing Cross Hospital and at the RNOH in Stanmore during his SpR Training. I obtained my CCT in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery in 2015. I have completed two Post-CCT Spinal Fellowships at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading and a 1-year Complex combined Neurosurgical and Orthopaedic Spinal Fellowship in the Queens Medical Centre (QMC), Nottingham. I have travelled to various Centres of Excellence in Spain, Italy, Germany, France and USA to learn advanced spinal surgical techniques and to offer these specialist skills to his patients.

I have a firm commitment to life-long education and continuous learning. I lecture and teach nationally and internationally in MIS spinal surgery. I am a supervisor for MSc students. I am well published with research papers, articles and have over 50 international conference presentations. I am a reviewer for various research journals and an examiner on FRCS(Tr&Orth) revision courses. I am a member of the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS), AO Spine, EUROSPINE and NASS.
