Spine Surgery

Minimally invasive and open spine procedures for conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis and instability, when non-surgical care has not resolved symptoms. Advanced imaging and, where suitable, endoscopic or microsurgical techniques help reduce tissue disruption and hospital stay. Your surgeon explains realistic expectations for pain relief and function, and rehabilitation is planned to support a steady recovery.

Spine Surgery explained

Spine surgery treats back and neck conditions that cause pain or nerve symptoms, using modern, often minimally invasive techniques.

What is spine surgery?

Spine surgery covers a range of procedures to treat conditions such as a herniated disc, nerve compression, or spinal instability that cause back or neck pain, or symptoms like numbness or weakness. Many procedures today use minimally invasive techniques to reduce disruption and aid recovery. It's usually considered after non-surgical care.

Is it right for me?

It's considered for specific spinal conditions, usually when symptoms are significant or haven't responded to non-surgical treatment such as physiotherapy. Your spine specialist reviews your scans and symptoms carefully and discusses whether surgery, and which technique, is appropriate.

How it's done, step by step

  1. 1

    Assessment: detailed imaging (such as MRI), examination and planning.

  2. 2

    Anaesthetic: usually general anaesthetic, decided with your team.

  3. 3

    Procedure: the surgeon treats the affected area, often with minimally invasive techniques.

  4. 4

    Closure: incisions are closed; many approaches involve small incisions.

  5. 5

    Rehabilitation: a structured recovery and physiotherapy plan begins.

What you'll experience

Depending on the procedure, it's a day-case or short-stay operation. Your consultant coordinates your stay, rehabilitation and follow-up, and supports you in your language throughout.

Recovery & results timeline

Recovery depends on the procedure and follows a careful, staged rehabilitation plan. Your spine team guides your activity and explains realistic expectations as symptoms and strength improve over the following weeks and months.

This is general information to help you understand your options, not medical advice. Your final plan, suitability and any risks are confirmed by your treating doctor.
