Hi there.  I can ask friends and pm you .  I myself had spinal surgery many years ago in the UK for  C4/5neck so I can understand you wanting to get right info.  I went private and my surgeon was great  and scar hardly visible on neck.  Lynne

I would be most grateful the uk nhs is now terrible and almost useless except for emergencies and the private sector has almost ground to a halt over covid infection.Lived in Cyprus after retirement from services but had to return to uk due to quad bike accident (69 and still a kid)only to find nhs no go.The cyprus health system has collapsed due to corruption but would have returned any way as the heat and dust storms have now become unbearable(blows over from Sahara)I was looking to canaries for operation because spain seems to have good regulatory system and temperature and then perhaps to buy or rent long term for my wife and I. My problem is lumber and slow loss of leg use .Many thanksChris
