About Mr Gordan Grahovac

Mr Gordan Grahovac is a Consultant Neurosurgeon specialising in Complex Spinal Surgery at the King's College Hospital in London. He has been Clinical Lead for Spine Surgery at King's College Hospital since 2020. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the conservative and surgical management of spinal conditions.

Mr Grahovac qualified from medical school in Zagreb where he completed his neurosurgical training. He completed paediatric neurosurgical fellowship at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, USA, and Complex Spine Fellowship at King’s College Hospital.

He has experience in performing complex spinal surgery and also offers minimally invasive procedures utilising wide range of enabling technology such as spinal navigation and spinal robotics when appropriate.

Mr Grahovac currently offers a wide range of procedures with a special focus on specific sets of procedures – procedures for degenerative spinal conditions (back pain, sciatica, radiculopathy, and myelopathy), cervical disc replacement, minimally invasive spinal surgery (tubes and endoscopic), spinal metastasis, intradural and intramedullary tumours, spinal deformity surgery, spinal infections and surgery for spinal fluid leaks. He also offers pain procedures such as injections, joint denervation and basivertebral nerve ablation.

Mr Grahovac performs the entire spectrum of simple and complex spinal surgery, including minimally invasive surgery and Robotic assisted spine surgery.

Mr Grahovac is a specialist for CSF leaks (spinal fluid leaks) that are causing spontaneous intracranial hypotension, and works closely with Neuroradiologists (dr Lalani Carlton Jones) and Neurologist (dr Alex Nesbit) to provide appropriate investigations and most appropriate treatments. Surgical repairs of CSF leaks will be performed through the minimal invasive approaches if possible, including ventral leaks, leaks due to meningeal cysts / lumbar punctures, CSF Venous fistulae.

Mr Grahovac has a specialist clinical and research interest in cervical disc replacement, cervical myelopathy, progressive syringomyelia, and intradural and intramedullary spinal cord tumours.

Mr Grahovac is an active researcher who is often invited to speak at neurosurgical meetings around the world and has produced over 60 articles published in scientific literature. He is also an excellent educator, training Senior Spinal fellows at King’s College Hospital.
