Spine Surgery at Samitivej Hospital Chinatown

Spine Connection’s new partnership with Dr. Tayard, in combination with Samitivej Hospital Chinatown, allows for international patients who are price-conscious to receive the very latest surgery techniques. As Director of the Bangkok Spine Academy and Vice-President of the Thai Spine Society, Dr. Tayard brings his skill and experience to our growing team.

His area of speciality is multi-level cervical interventions, scoliosis surgery, and reconstructive lumbar surgeries using the very latest Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques. This includes Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF), Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) and Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion (DLIF). Performing these surgeries using MIS approaches (unlike open surgery) allows patients to benefit from less blood loss, preserving muscle and connective tissue, and ultimately a faster recovery time.
