A surgical fastening (160), kit of parts including the fastening and method for stabilising a vertebra using the fastening are described. The fastening is used to attach a rod (166) to a spinal body part. The fastening comprises a split ring (160) of a material which defines a channel for receiving the rod. A formation can receive a fixing (168) to secure the fastening to the spinal body part. A closure mechanism is operable to close the ring. The material is sufficiently flexible to allow the fastening to be closed about the rod at least once, without weakening.
