What is spinal and neurosurgery?
Neurosurgery covers operative and non-operative treatment of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Spinal surgery focuses on conditions of the spine that may require surgical intervention such as decompression or fusion. Our consultant neurosurgeons and spinal surgeons assess surgical appropriateness and lead multidisciplinary peri-operative care.
Conditions we treat
- Degenerative spine conditions (e.g., spinal stenosis, spondylosis)
- Disc prolapse (lumbar and cervical) causing sciatica or radiculopathy
- Spinal instability and deformity (scoliosis, spondylolisthesis)
- Spinal tumours and infections (diagnosis and surgical management)
- Complex cranial conditions (brain tumours, hydrocephalus, trigeminal neuralgia)
- Traumatic injury where spinal or cranial surgery is indicated
Our specialist surgeons perform a wide range of procedures - from minimally invasive operations that relieve nerve compression to complex spinal reconstructions and cranial surgery.
