Patients who have had previous spinal operations that require highly specialised treatment such as revision surgeries or multiple operations. Mr Sikander brings extensive experience to these challenging cases.
A rare neurological condition where a cyst forms and blocks normal cerebrospinal fluid flow. Over time this can damage nerve fibres and cause chronic pain, stiffness and muscle weakness in the back, shoulders, arms or legs.
This condition occurs from an abnormal growth pattern of the base of the skull and can cause headaches and problems with limbs. Specialist surgical management is available where appropriate.
