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 to the spine. It is probably one of the most innovative techniques developed on the spine in the last decade and is presently performed by selective few surgeons in U.K. It has several indications including Revision lumbar surgery, adult deformity as well as trauma, tumours and infection. This is also my key research interest. I am also a member of SOLAS( Society of lateral access surgeons).

My other research interests are foot drop in Lumbar disease and MIS surgery for thoracic disc.
