Department of Spinal Surgery

Welcome to the Department of Spine Surgery.

The Department acts as a tertiary referral centre for unusual or difficult elective paediatric spinal orthopaedic conditions and for complex surgery of the growing spine. We usually only accept referrals from other Consultants. Due to the nature of the service we provide and the high volume of referrals of very complex patients, we only accept very selective referrals from general practice (usually those needing operative treatment that cannot be offered locally). We do not provide treatment for patients with malignant bone tumours and sarcomas.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Management of Scoliosis both congenital, syndromic and idiopathic.
  • The whole range of paediatric spine surgery (scoliosis treatment).
  • Complex deformity surgery of the growing spine.
