    Frequently asked questions

  • What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?

    The symptoms vary quite a bit because intracranial tumours present in a number of different ways. The most common symptoms would be hearing loss, headaches, dizziness, problems with higher mental and executive function, among many different types of symptoms depending on where the lesions are in the brain.

    In terms of my spinal practice, it tends to be neck pain, arm pain, back pain, leg pain, among others.

  • What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?

    I do a full range of intracranial neurosurgery, removing tumours surgically, but I also offer radiosurgical treatments with a gamma knife. A lot of the tumours we used to operate on are now treated with radiosurgery instead which is a highly targeted form of radiotherapy, normally undertaken in just one day of treatment as a day case.

  • What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?

    My subspecialist interests are neurooncology, the full range of intracranial tumours and pituitary surgery. I introduced endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery to the UK about 20 years ago which is now universally adopted. I offer treatment for trigeminal neuralgia using endoscopes which is becoming more common but wasn't when I started. I offer radiation treatment. I'm the medical director for the gamma knife unit and we treat a variety of conditions with radiation now.
