Spinal services

Spinal surgery can be carried out for a number of reasons and to treat a variety of conditions. University Hospital is a tertiary centre, which means that we provide specialised care, usually following referral from primary or secondary care centres.

We provide treatment for all manner of spinal conditions, such as spinal Injuries, spinal tumours, degenerative conditions such as slipped discs, children’s spinal conditions such as scoliosis and other conditions affecting the spine. We deal with all areas of the spine, including cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral.

All our consultants are highly specialised in spinal surgery, and are Fellowship trained, which means that they have taken additional training to become specialised in this area. They are all also heavily involved in research and education, often giving talks themselves, as well as receiving and developing further training.

We provide:

• Implants

• Anterior and posterior instrumentation

• Decompressive surgery

• Disc replacements

• Fusions

• Scoliosis surgery

• Keyhole surgery

• Surgery for fractures and tumours

• Links to counselling services
