About

Mr Darren Lui is a Fellowship Trained Deformity and Complex Spinal Surgeon.  He primarily now works at the Mater Private Network Dublin Hospital in Ireland.

He is an Honorary Consultant at St George's University London where he  manages and founded "Ahead of the Curve Scoliosis Spinal Research Charity" and the large team of researchers associated with it.

He also sees private patients at The Fortius Clinic Marylebone, Central London and has access priviliges to bring those patients to HCA London Bridge, HCA Harley Street, HCA Portland Women and Children's Hospital and The London Clinic.

Mr. Lui's specialist interest is in adolescent & paediatric deformity surgery such as scoliosis and kyphosis. His expertise also covers a wide range of procedures, from revision, anterior and complex spinal surgery to failed back syndrome, scoliosis and kyphosis surgery.  

Mr Lui has helped St George's hospital publish MIS anterior scoliosis surgery including non fusion techniques (Vertebral Body Tethering, VBT) or Mini Fusions.  He is involved in their Ethically Approved Multicentre Prospective Trial.  He is involved in a multicenter retropsective study looking at Bipolar Growing Rods with Oxford and Birmingham.  He worked at the Duchess of Kent Hospital Hong Kong where some of the first MAGEC rods were used and introduced them at St George's hospital.  He has one of the largest series of 3D printed bespoke jigs for paediatric scoliosis surgery.

He has a specialist interest in spinal oncology, especially the treatment of oligo-metastases of the spine where he has helped pioneer techniques that can lead to "curative spinal surgery" with the eradication of spinal tumours by combining carbon fibre instrumentation, radiofrequency ablation and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SBRT).  

He also sees patients with more straightforward problems including back and leg pain with a focus on anterior non fusion surgery as cervical or lumbar disc replacements.

Graduating from RCSI in 2001, Mr Lui also completed a Masters degree in Surgery in 2005.

Mr Lui has worked as a Complex Spinal Surgery Fellow in hospitals in Hong Kong, Ireland and England and was appointed as a consultant in 2016, working at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, before moving to join St George's.  He worked as a Consultant for 10 years before moving to the Mater Private Hospital to launch a Scoliosis Surgery Programme as well as a Spinal Oncology Service.

Mr Lui has an active and keen interest in research including into trauma and orthopaedics as well as spine surgery, and enjoys teaching and sharing his knowledge with others. Between himself and his research team they have 17 prizes in education and 50 invited Lectures. They have over 300 podium presentations, 150 Posters and 70 peer-reviewed publications as well as authoring 12 books.  His interest in teaching has led to supervising two Masters' degrees in Science and a patent for a spinal implant invention.
