About me

I am a consultant neurosurgeon in Leeds and my workload is related entirely to the spine. I completed my neurosurgical training in Leeds. Following this, I undertook a nationally recognised one-year spine fellowship in Nottingham which is one of the leading spinal units in this country. This provided me with complete training in all aspects of spinal surgery.

I have a special interest in cervical and lumbar degenerative disease and my practice includes the complete spectrum of Spine excluding paediatrics. It ranges from nonsurgical management of my patients to simple decompressive surgery as well as minimally invasive and complex spinal procedures.

One of my special interest is the LATERAL approach to the spine (XLIF) which is an excellent minimally invasive approach that is presently performed by selective few surgeons in U.K. It has several indications but by far the principal indication for me is Revision surgery to the back. This is also my key research interest.

My spinal practice is comprehensive and evidence based and I would offer surgery to my patients as the last resort and only after exhausting conservative measures as much is possible.
