Welcome to the Spine and Back Unit at One Hatfield Hospital

Here at One Hatfield Hospital, the specialists within our spinal and back unit can diagnose and treat a wide range of back and neck problems including;

• Spinal decompression
• Spinal injections
• Spinal fusion
• Lumbar microdiscestomy
• Kyphoplasty

Wherever possible, our private spinal surgeons aim to use minimally invasive surgery (keyhole surgery) in order to minimise your recovery time, and reduce the length of time that you need to stay in hospital.

For surgical procedures that are more invasive, a longer stay in hospital may be necessary, but you can rest assured that your stay will be comfortable and all your needs will be provided for.

At One Hatfield Hospital's spinal surgery unit you can usually see an Orthopaedic surgeon specialising in spinal conditions within 48 hours for an initial consultation. We have a new imaging suite with MRI, X-Ray and Ultrasound supported by an excellent radiology team to help diagnose your condition and help your Consultant develop a treatment plan. We then perform a range of treatments in our modern purpose built facilities and if an overnight stay is required you'll be able to recover in a high quality private en-suite bedroom.

We see patients covered by all major insurers and for those not insured we offer competitive fixed price packages.

Expertise

Our surgeons have many years’ experience, both within a private practice setting as well as in the NHS, meaning their skills and experience are first rate. In addition to their specialist clinical expertise, our consultants have extensive experience in related disciplines such as rheumatology, trauma and sports medicine.

After care and physical therapy

Following your spinal surgery, there is generally a high level of aftercare required, in order to rehabilitate patients to the highest standard. Our high-quality patient-centred service will be with you every step of the way, you from your initial consultation through to your aftercare and physiotherapy needs.

Your spinal orthopaedic consultant will always advise you of the impact of the spinal surgery on your health and recovery, and will ensure that your rehabilitation and physiotherapy aftercare needs are provided for.

One Hatfield Hospital is located in Hertfordshire but is ideally placed for patients based in St Albans, Stevenage, Watford, North London, Welwyn, throughout Bedfordshire and further afield.
