Mr Bhagawati offers his patients full access to a comprehensive and modern range of spinal techniques, treating problems from the top to the bottom of their spine. He believes in advising his patients about their treatment options to manage their back pain and allowing them to make an informed decision.
He uses the latest minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic spinal surgery, microdiscectomy, total disc replacement, minimally invasive fusion surgery, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are image guided procedures used to inject cement into a patient’s fractured bone to treat painful vertebral compression fractures in the spinal column, often caused by osteoporosis.
Mr Bhagawati provides integrated physiotherapy programmes that include nerve and joint injections through spinal surgery. He promotes early rehabilitation and rapid recovery for better surgical outcomes and, most of his patients go home the following day after surgery.
