Minimise Physical & Emotional Stress With Keyhole Surgery

Mr Wang’s particular interest and expertise lies in the field of Minimally Invasive Techniques in Neurosurgery. Having undergone specialist training with a Minimally Invasive Fellowship at Salford Royal Foundation Trust in the United Kingdom, he is fully capable and has access to the latest innovative technology in Spinal Surgery: the O-arm intra-operative navigation system (the only one available in Victoria). 

Mr Wang believes in helping his patients gain a better sense of well-being by minimising the physical and emotional stress of surgery through the use of Minimally Invasive Techniques to  shorten recovery periods and thus easing them more quickly and comfortably into full recovery.

As opposed to more traditional neurosurgery methods which have a higher potential for additional physical and emotional stress, the Minimally Invasive Approach stems from the Latin philosophy “To first do no harm” and it allows for maximum treatment with minimal burden. 

As a much-trusted neurosurgeon known throughout Victoria, Mr. Wang has practised, and is currently a consultant, in the following major hospitals:

• St Vincent’s Hospital (Melbourne)
• St Vincent’s Public Hospital
• Mercy Private Hospital
• Epworth Eastern Medical Centre

His services are made available to patients in Melbourne and across the state of Victoria.
