About Dr Mangattil Rajesh

MBBS FRCS MCh(Orth) FRCS MBA
Consultant Spine Surgeon
Mr Mangattil Rajesh is among the leading Spine Surgeons in the UK.

Mr Mangattil Rajesh is known for his kind, caring and considerate approach. He is an outstanding Spine Surgeon who had most of his surgical career and training in London. His main practice is Spine Trauma, Spine Deformity and Minimally Invasive Surgery at The Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, UK.

He is a British-trained Spine Surgeon with 3 advanced Spine fellowships from London, Manchester and North America. His specialist area of interest is Endoscopic Spine Surgery. He trained at The Bagatel Endoscopic Centre, Bordeaux, France under Professor Destandau.

He is the Head of Clinical Governance in Trauma & Orthopaedics at The Royal London Hospital and oversees all aspects of patient safety in their treatment journey.

Mr Rajesh is known for his research work and awards. He was the recipient of “The Young Innovator Award” for his invention of the “Torque Testing Rig”. He was awarded a higher degree  – MCh in Trauma & Orthopaedics – for his dissertation on his Biomechanics research work – “Biomechanical Analysis of the Torque stabilisation properties of the Halder Humeral Nail”.

Always enquiring and curious, Mr Rajesh brings his research background to the care of his patients. He listens carefully to his patients and considers all aspects of non-surgical options before advising his patients. 

Mr Rajesh is a MBA from London. This has honed his management skills and analytical approach that is of great benefit to his patient. His management training helps him in the efficient work flow process that makes him the best proactive surgeon that all his patients recall in their reviews.

If surgery appears to be necessary, Mr Rajesh is a very skilful practitioner of  Minimally Invasive Surgery for minimal tissue dissection, faster recovery and early return to your normal activities of daily living. 

Mr Rajesh is a firm believer in giving you the best care possible not only in the management of your condition but also to make long-term pain relief possible!

Mangattil Rajesh has personal experience of back pain and back surgery himself.

He says….

“I am happy to explain my personal experience and struggle with back pain. I have the first hand knowledge and experience of back pain with sciatica. I understand what you are going thorough at the moment. The mental anguish, dilemma and the lack of information all adds to the stress and pain”.

Achievements

Awarded an MCh degree for my original work on the “Biomechanical analysis of the stabilisation properties of the Halder Humeral Nail” done under Professor Angus Wallace, Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham. 

Won the “Young Innovator Award” for my unique and simple ‘Torque Testing Rig’ that translated rotatory moments to linear measurements.

Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) – Completed a prospective randomised controlled trial comparing NuNec vs Prestige Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement. This has given me a better understanding on back and neck pain problems. 

I am very obsessed with the quality of care delivered to my patients and to offer them a great and exceptional value. My healthcare initiative ‘Nexus Ortho’ was very successful in delivering quality care for patients, teaching and training young surgeons in India.
