Keyhole Surgery Brisbane

Welcome to the Keyhole Spine Centre – Australia’s leading institute for the minimally invasive surgical treatment of spinal diseases.

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses a keyhole surgery approach.

This differs from traditional open spinal surgery with:

faster recovery
a shorter surgical procedure
less time under anaesthetic
less time in hospital
smaller surgical incisions
reduced surgical scarring
less post-operative pain

Spinal conditions we treat

At the Keyhole Spine Centre, we specialise in the surgical management of common spinal pathologies, using keyhole surgical techniques to improve surgical efficiency, reduce post-operative pain, and provide a much quicker return to normal activities for the patient than traditional open spinal surgery.

Our Neurosurgeons, nurses, theatre booking and reception staff work together to ensure the best patient experience and care.

Our surgeons have access to the most cutting-edge technology to facilitate this surgery in the safest, most efficient way. This leads to optimal outcomes for our patients.

Keyhole spinal surgery can be used to treat :

Lumbar disc prolapse
Cervical disc prolapse
Spinal canal stenosis
Spinal spondylolisthesis
Spinal tumours
Syringomyelia
Spinal cord compression

Nurses and support staff

Our nurses play a vital role in patient care. Our highly experienced and dedicated team of nurses work closely with our Neurosurgeons to ensure the best surgical care and follow-up. They provide assistance and education before your surgery and monitor your recovery after surgery.

Our theatre bookings and reception staff are here to assist you. They will manage your appointments and book your surgical procedure.
