Overview.

Our neurosurgery team operates on the brain, spine and peripheral nerves with the precision a 1mm margin demands. Cases are reviewed jointly with neurology, oncology and pain medicine in the neuroscience MDT, so the decision to operate, or not, is taken together. Modern neuro-navigation, intraoperative imaging and microsurgical technique are used as standard, with structured pre-habilitation and post-op rehabilitation to support recovery.

Questions before you book.

The neuroscience MDT reviews imaging, biopsy and your clinical state together. We operate when surgery offers a clear benefit over watchful waiting or radiosurgery.

Most patients walk the next day, leave hospital within 3–5 days, and return to office work at 4–6 weeks.

Awake craniotomy is offered when the tumour sits near speech or movement areas, so we can map function in real time.

Yes — most disc problems settle with physiotherapy, pain management and time. Surgery is reserved for persistent neurological deficit or unrelenting pain.

Yes. We offer medical management, percutaneous procedures and microvascular decompression depending on the cause.

Yes. Through our King’s College London partnership we can arrange virtual consultant review for complex neurosurgical cases.
