Mr Francesco Vergani is a highly esteemed neurosurgeon specialising in neuro-oncology. He is currently practising at The Harley Street Clinic and HCA UK at The Shard in London. Mr Vergani has extensive expertise in the treatment of primary and secondary brain tumours, spinal tumours, and the management of conditions such as sciatica, back pain, neck pain, and arm pain.
Mr Vergani completed his medical degree at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy in 2003. He then moved to the UK, where he obtained his FRCS in neurosurgery in 2013 and later achieved a PhD in brain connectivity at Newcastle University. His training also includes a prestigious neuro-oncology fellowship at King’s College Hospital, London, and a research fellowship in Montpellier, France, focusing on surgery for tumours in eloquent areas of the brain.
Mr Vergani is renowned for his use of advanced surgical techniques, including neuro-navigation, 5-ALA for high-grade gliomas detection, and minimally invasive approaches. He has a particular interest in brain mapping, neuromonitoring, and awake surgery techniques for tumours in eloquent brain areas.
In addition to his clinical work, Mr Vergani is an active lecturer and has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He is a member of the Society of British Neurosurgeons (SBNS) and was awarded the Young Neurosurgeon Award by the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) in 2015.
Outside of his professional life, Mr Vergani enjoys spending time with his family, playing football, and playing the saxophone with his children.
