Mr Caspar Aylott was appointed Consultant Spine Surgeon in the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in 2010 and was central to the redevelopment of Spinal services in Gloucestershire.
He is uniquely dual qualified in the UK with a degree in both Mechanical and Materials Engineering (Nottingham University 1993) and as a Doctor (Leicester Medical School 1998). He completed higher surgical training in Bristol achieving FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics in 2008.
He completed Internationally recognised fellowships in Nottingham, Auckland (New Zealand) and Bristol. In 2007 he obtained a Doctorate from Nottingham University studying motion preserving technologies in the spine.
He is an expert in the diagnosis and management of all degenerative conditions of the lumbar and cervical spine (back and neck) specialising in both conservative and surgical treatments. This includes rehabilitation, injections, minimal access surgery, fusion and non-fusion motion preserving techniques.
He has more than 30 publications and lectures regularly in the UK, Europe and Asia on subjects including minimally invasive surgery and spinal biomechanics. He is an invited reviewer for Bone and Joint Journal and member of EuroSpine and the British Association of Spine Surgeons.
Caspar has a busy independent practice with clinics in Cheltenham and London and sees patients from across the UK and abroad. He manages all types of spine problems from neck to lower back including disc herniations, spinal stenosis, back and neck pain, trauma, deformity (spondylolisthesis and scoliosis), and osteoporotic spine fractures.
He believes strongly in the importance of making an accurate diagnosis and communicating this clearly to patients. This enables prognosis and treatment options (conservative and surgical) to be discussed and sensible informed choices, appropriate for the individual.
He believes that spinal surgery is the last resort in all problems of the spine and is happy to act as an advisor to decide which treatment would be best for your back, neck, leg or arm pain.
His qualifications and experience have enabled him to be a European Faculty Trainer for surgeons in several minimal invasive techniques including Balloon Kyphoplasty and Dynamic Stabilisation, teaching roles he especially enjoys.
Ongoing research interests include motion preserving techniques and early rehabilitation patient outcomes following minimal access surgery.
Caspar has three young daughters who keep him on his toes. He is a former Cathedral chorister and an accomplished pianist. He is a competitive racket sports player and enjoys extreme fishing, windsurfing and skiing.
Thesis: ‘The Dynamic Neutralisation System for the Spine (DYNESYS): Acute Biomechanical Effects on the Lumbar Spine’ 2007 British Library.
This was a 3-4 year Doctorate looking at motion preserving technologies in the spine primarily a pedicle based non-fusion technology with reference to other rigid and non-rigid posterior devices. Measurements included intradiscal pressures, range of vertebral motion and discal movement. The thesis is held in the British Library in London for public access.
