We generally schedule surgery dates during your consultation, once we determine it’s the best course of action. Occasionally, scheduling may be delayed due to other specialists’ involvement or the need to prioritise other patients. The specific timing for each patient is typically finalised the day before surgery, based on the operating list for that day.

We’ll confirm this with you at the time of scheduling.

• Spine or Peripheral Nerve Surgery: Most patients arrive on the morning of the surgery.

• Brain Surgery: Patients usually come in the night before to allow for pre-surgery scans (e.g., stereotaxy scans).

Generally, you should continue taking your medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. However, blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin, rivaroxaban, apixaban) and some other drugs affecting blood clotting (like anti-inflammatories and fish oil) may need to be stopped before surgery. If you’re on any of these medications, please inform us to discuss appropriate guidance.

Yes, you may be asked to attend a pre-admission clinic for tests and a pre-surgical evaluation by an anaesthetist. This usually occurs within 10 days before surgery. If your procedure involves another surgeon, we may schedule an appointment with them as well.

A detailed estimate of fees will be provided at the time of booking your surgery. Costs vary depending on the specific procedure and are assessed individually.
