What we treat

Conditions managed by this department

Named conditions our specialists assess and treat. A clinical assessment decides what applies to you.

Treatments

Procedures performed by our team

  1. Burr-hole surgery

    Creates a small opening in the skull to drain a collection, relieve pressure or provide limited surgical access.

  2. Craniotomy or craniectomy

    Temporarily removes part of the skull to reach the brain; the bone is replaced in a craniotomy and may be left off after a craniectomy.

  3. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt

    Places a drainage tube from the brain to the abdomen to divert excess cerebrospinal fluid.

  4. Cervical discectomy, laminectomy or fusion

    Relieves pressure on nerves or the spinal cord in the neck and may stabilise the treated vertebrae.

  5. Lumbar discectomy, laminectomy or fusion

    Treats selected lower-back nerve compression by removing disc or bone and, when needed, stabilising the spine.

  6. Thoracic discectomy, laminectomy or fusion

    Treats selected mid-back spinal compression and may include stabilisation of the affected vertebrae.

  7. Brain or spinal tumour excision

    Removes as much of a brain or spinal tumour as is safely possible while protecting nearby structures.

  8. Intracranial haematoma evacuation

    Removes a collection of blood inside the skull to reduce pressure on the brain.

  9. Cerebral aneurysm clipping

    Places a small clip across an aneurysm neck to stop blood from entering the weakened vessel.

  10. Craniovertebral junction decompression and fusion

    Relieves pressure where the skull meets the upper spine and stabilises the junction when required.
