Discectomy & micro-discectomy
Removing the part of a prolapsed disc that presses on a nerve — through endoscopic (PELD) or micro-endoscopic (MetRx) techniques.

Spine Procedures
From image-guided injections to key-hole surgery and complex deformity correction — matched to your diagnosis, and always after conservative options have been considered.
Surgery is the last step, not the first
Around 70% of spine patients are treated successfully without surgery. We identify the least invasive, most effective option first — and consider an operation only when appropriate conservative treatment has not given relief.
Minimally invasive spine procedures
Key-hole surgery, faster recovery
Known to patients as micro, microscopic, key-hole or endoscopic surgery. Smaller incisions mean less tissue damage, less pain and a quicker return to daily life.
Decompression
Laminotomy, laminectomy and micro-decompression to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in canal stenosis.
Interbody cage & spinal fusion
MIS-TLIF and fusion for instability, spondylolisthesis, trauma, infection and tumours — stabilising the affected segment.
Disc replacement
Artificial (total) disc replacement to preserve movement in selected patients with chronic low back pain.
Deformity correction
Correcting scoliosis and kyphosis in children and adults, including thoracoscopic anterior release and fusion.
Vertebroplasty & kyphoplasty
Minimally invasive cement stabilisation for osteoporotic vertebral fractures and spinal metastases.
