Mr Robert Lee

Mr Robert Lee is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgeon at The Wellington Hospital, working within the hospital’s internationally renowned Spinal Unit. He routinely treats highly complex cases that have been referred from centres around the UK.

He has extensive experience in complex adult degenerative  disease, deformity (spondylolisthesis and adult scoliosis),  sacroiliac joint fusion, revision cases, infection, tumour  (primary and metastatic) and trauma work. He specialises  in posterior and anterior minimally invasive fusions and  decompressions, with the emphasis on preservation of the  paraspinal musculature and fast rehabilitation.

Mr Lee was fellowship trained in Vancouver, Canada, where  he developed his expertise in computer-navigated spine  surgery (O-arm and stealth navigation). He has performed  more than 1,000 cases using this novel technology.

Mr Lee speaks regularly at international and national  conferences, and is a faculty member on many courses on  minimally invasive techniques. He has published extensively  and his current research interests are the outcomes after  minimally invasive surgery, adult deformity correction and  computer-navigated spinal surgery. He is the National Lead  of the British Spine Registry and is a fellow of the Scoliosis  Research Society.
