Back surgery: your procedure
On the day of your procedure, you’ll meet your healthcare team, including your anaesthetist and your consultant again. You’ll be shown to one of our 27 large, bright, private rooms. You’ll be with us for one to four days, depending on the type of surgery you have.
If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they'll be advised when they can return to visit you.
Before surgery, you’ll be given a general anaesthetic, so you’ll be unconscious throughout the procedure. Once it’s taken effect, your consultant will begin your surgery.
