Health Fact vs Fiction - Put your back into it
Mr Christopher Chandler talks about the cause of back pain and how to manage pain, as part of the Health Fact vs Fiction podcast series.
State-of-the-art intraoperative MRI for neurosurgery
As part of HCA Healthcare UK’s continued investment in the latest medical technology, The Wellington Hospital’s Neurosurgery Centre is now equipped with an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) scanner and fully integrated digital theatre.
The iMRI scanner allows surgeons to carry out an intraoperative MRI scan of their patient’s brain during their surgery. This gives the surgeon confidence that they have achieved their treatment goal. It also provides our patients with the best possible chance of tumours being removed fully without the need for further surgery.
A glimpse into the future of patient care
We are committed to end-to-end, personalised care for our patients using cutting-edge neurosurgical interventions. Professor Keyoumars Ashkan, consultant neurosurgeon at HCA Healthcare UK, discusses innovations in neuroscience for cancer and tumour treatment in this blog, including trials for a ground-breaking vaccine and his expertise in Visualase™, a minimally invasive keyhole procedure.
Our Neurosurgical Expertise
At the London Neurosurgery Partnership we are able to provide treatment delivered by an expert in every neurosurgical sub-specialty. We also have access to the latest neurosurgical technologies, including CyberKnife® and Gamma Knife®.

Minimally invasive brain tumour surgery
If you have a benign or malignant brain tumour, our HCA UK neurosurgeons can treat you with minimally invasive surgery
Groundbreaking brain tumour treatment
Mr Bhangoo and Professor Ashkan, both part of London Neurosurgery Partnership at The Harley Street Clinic, discuss how the Visualase® system can be used to treat brain tumours. Visualase® is minimally invasive and so there is reduced risk of infection to the patient as well as faster recovery times. Additionally, depending on the location of the tumour, it is often possible to perform the operation without shaving the patient's head.
This pioneering technique has also proved very successful as a treatment for epilepsy. The same laser-guided process is used to ablate (remove with heat energy) brain tissue mutations which cause epileptic seizures, providing epileptic patients with a far more immediate, alternative treatment option to traditional medication and surgery.
