I am a Consultant Neurosurgeon with specialisation in spinal disorders. I offer the latest surgical and non-surgical treatments relating to all spinal conditions and neurotrauma. Most spinal problems can be managed non-operatively. However, if it comes to a stage that surgery is required, I prefer to offer my patients surgical solutions with minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques that are associated with faster recovery and less rate of complications. I have learnt these techniques from experts from many countries. I routinely collaborate and share my experience with colleagues in Europe and America. The management of some spinal problems is complex. I believe such problems should be discussed in multi disciplinary team meetings to provide the best possible care for my patients. I am fortunate to work with excellent colleagues in the NHS / private sector and we regularly discuss the management of challenging problems in order to come up with comprehensive solutions. This also involves bringing in the latest technology like neuro-navigation, neurophysiological monitoring and spinal endoscopy to make surgery safer. I am the director of neurosurgical training in the region. I am also an examiner for the final neurosurgical fellowship examination (FRCS) that is a requirement for a trainee to take up a consultant job in the UK. I find this extremely gratifying as it also helps me to keep myself updated with the latest developments in my specialty.
