Mr Deb PalSpinal neurosurgeon in Leeds
Professional statement
Mr Deb Pal is a distinguished consultant neurosurgeon based in Leeds, practising privately at Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital. He is fully subspecialised in spinal surgery and offers expert care in conditions such as lumbar disc herniation, spinal fusion, vertebroplasty, and spinal disc replacement. His practice spans from routine spinal procedures to minimally invasive and complex spinal reconstructions, with a particular focus on degenerative spine disorders and adult scoliosis.
After earning his medical degree from the University of Calcutta, Mr Pal completed his neurosurgical training in Leeds, followed by a nationally recognised spinal fellowship at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham. During this time, he trained under both neurosurgical and orthopaedic spinal teams, gaining a comprehensive understanding of spinal pathologies and their management. Since his appointment as a consultant neurosurgeon in 2009, he has focused his entire elective and emergency workload on spinal care.
Mr Pal has a particular interest in lateral access spinal surgery, for which he holds one of the largest experiences in the region. He also provides minimally invasive solutions for thoracic disc pathology, a highly specialised area within spinal surgery. Passionate about evidence-based care, he routinely uses outcome measures to guide treatment decisions and ensure optimal patient results. Mr Pal is actively involved in research, has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, and presents regularly at both national and international conferences.
