Areas of expertise
Minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques
A/Prof Reddy applies mini-open, tubular and endoscopic approaches to spinal and cranial procedures where clinically indicated. These techniques minimise surgical trauma, may reduce the length of hospital stay and are selected as part of an individualised treatment plan.
Spine surgery for degenerative, congenital and oncological conditions
He manages degenerative and congenital spinal conditions, including herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and cervical myelopathy, as well as spinal tumours, both malignant and benign. Surgical techniques are selected based on pathological findings and each person’s functional goals.
Complex spinal reconstruction
For patients requiring multi-level or revision spinal surgery, A/Prof Reddy performs reconstructive procedures that address instability, deformity and post-surgical complications, drawing on his subspecialty fellowship training in Toronto.
Brain tumour surgery
He provides surgical management for primary and metastatic brain tumours within established multidisciplinary neuro-oncology pathways.
Craniofacial reconstruction
A/Prof Reddy performs craniofacial reconstructive surgery to address complex cranial defects arising from genetics, injury, tumour resection or prior surgical intervention.
—

Clinical framework
A/Prof Reddy determines treatment within a rigorous clinical framework that includes established, evidence-based clinical protocols and neurosurgical guidelines.
He bases decisions on underlying pathology, diagnostic imaging, objective clinical indicators and a person’s unique circumstances.
