My medical school was the University of Medicine in Bucharest, and my postgraduate training was in Bucharest at Trauma and Orthopaedic Hospital of “Foisor”. I then completed three of the most prestigious Spinal Surgery Fellowships in the UK at Oxford University Hospital, Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, London. I have covered all the aspects of spinal pathology and their treatment.
I have a research interest in minimally invasive spine surgery. My NHS practice is for primary and complex spinal disorders, including revision surgery. I believe that each patient has to receive a realistic feedback from their consultant with regards to potential outcome of surgery. We need to be realistic about the outcomes and occurring risks of spinal treatment pathways. I would not give false hope to my patients and will make sure we have tried all the options of conservative management prior to embarking on surgical treatment.
Over 80% of the posterior thoraco-lumbar spine operations that I perform are with minimal access as microdiscectomy, TLIF - transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, percutaneous stabilisation and kyphoplasties. I am also involved in the development of the 'next generation' of spinal implants working close with spinal implant companies like K2M.
