The Brisbane Private Neurosurgery Centre will introduce a new spinal surgery technique to Australia, previously only available in Europe.

Peter Lucas Neurosurgeon said European experience with the new device had shown considerable improvement in patient outcomes, at a lower cost which prompted him to introduce it to his practice.

“Patients will have the advantage of potentially faster and higher fusion rates resulting in better outcomes through completed fusion,” he said.

The new technique uses a new device that facilitates fusion, while negating the need to harvest bone from elsewhere in the body or use bone substitutes.
