Dr. Sherief Elsayed is a consultant spinal surgeon with over 25 years of clinical experience, including 20 years dedicated exclusively to orthopedic and spinal surgery. He trained at Cardiff University, where he earned his medical degree in 2000, and completed advanced specialist training in the UK through the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He undertook a prestigious Complex Spine Fellowship at the Centre for Spinal Studies and Surgery in Nottingham, one of the UK's leading spinal centers, and worked as a consultant spinal surgeon in both NHS and private practice in the UK, including at Princess Grace Hospital in London.
Dr. Elsayed specializes in the full range of spinal conditions, from degenerative disc disease and nerve compression to spinal tumors and fractures. He performs minimally invasive techniques including endoscopic discectomy, microdiscectomy, and fusion procedures (ACDF, TLIF, ALIF), as well as disc replacement and vertebral augmentation. He is among a select group of surgeons globally trained in robot-assisted spine surgery, allowing for greater precision in complex cases.
He is well suited for patients with complex spine problems, revision cases after previous unsuccessful surgery, and those seeking minimally invasive alternatives to open surgery. His approach emphasizes thorough preoperative planning, clear communication, and careful postoperative follow-up to ensure optimal recovery.
Special interests: robot-assisted spinal procedures, revision spine surgery, endoscopic techniques, disc preservation and replacement.
