Minimally Invasive Treatments

The London Neurosurgery Partnership (LNP) offers a full range of minimally invasive spinal and cranial procedures designed to achieve maximum results with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

Advanced Minimally Invasive Procedures

Using advanced imaging, navigation, and endoscopic techniques, our consultants perform surgery through smaller incisions, which helps reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, and promote faster recovery. These procedures are suitable for selected brain, spine, and nerve conditions, and are planned individually to ensure the safest and most effective outcome for every patient.
