Treatments & procedures

Evidence-based procedures performed by our team.

  • Burr-hole surgery

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

  • 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.

  • Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt

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

  • Cervical discectomy, laminectomy or fusion

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

  • Lumbar discectomy, laminectomy or fusion

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

  • Thoracic discectomy, laminectomy or fusion

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

  • Brain or spinal tumour excision

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

  • Intracranial haematoma evacuation

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

  • Cerebral aneurysm clipping

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

  • Craniovertebral junction decompression and fusion

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