Every patient’s condition is unique. Assessment and treatment are tailored to your symptoms, imaging, neurological status, lifestyle and personal goals.
Recommendations are based on careful clinical assessment, imaging and the available evidence, with a focus on selecting the safest and most effective approach.
Not all spinal conditions require surgery. Conservative and minimally invasive treatment options are carefully considered before an operation is recommended.
Clear communication and multidisciplinary collaboration help ensure that you remain informed and supported throughout diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
Appointments can be arranged directly through the private secretary team. Prior imaging, referral letters and relevant medical information may be shared in advance, allowing the case to be reviewed and helping ensure that you receive the most appropriate assessment and guidance from the outset.
The consultation provides a detailed understanding of your condition, symptoms and treatment goals. Mr Russo will review your medical history, neurological function, examination findings, previous treatments and imaging. Where further clarification is required, appropriate investigations can be coordinated through specialist imaging centres.
Surgery is not always necessary. Many spinal conditions can improve through conservative treatment, which is often recommended as the first stage of management where appropriate. All suitable options are discussed carefully before an operation is considered.
Where surgery is appropriate, detailed planning ensures that treatment is tailored to your condition and goals. You will receive clear information about the proposed procedure, alternatives, risks, expected outcomes and rehabilitation. Hospital stay varies according to the procedure and complexity of the condition.
Recovery varies according to the condition, treatment or procedure performed and your overall health. Patients are followed closely, with rehabilitation programmes and physiotherapy coordinated where appropriate to support optimal functional recovery.
