| 5th Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Hands-on Symposium |
The purpose of this symposium is to provide a comprehensive overview on new and less invasive techniques with and without stereotactic navigation for the operative treatment of spinal disorders. Proponents and critics of MIS surgery will discuss the pros and cons of MIS approaches, establishing the skills essential in selecting appropriate patients for MIS surgery. Practical sessions will allow the participant to apply the latest spinal techniques including spinal navigation in cadavers. Combining didactic sessions with hands-on cadaveric dissections, course participants should be well-equipped to start utilizing these approaches in their own practices. A computerized, interactive audience response system will be available during sessions to increase feedback and allow voting. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss difficult cases with the faculty during the course of panel discussions.
The objective of this course is to improve patient
care. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the anatomy and radiology of spinal and paraspinal structures in the lumbar and sacral region
2. Determine which types of pathology are amenable to minimally invasive spinal surgery
3. Be familiar with state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgery used in these approaches
4.Understand the principles of stereotactic spinal navigation and its use for minimally invasive spinal procedures
5. Debate on the pros and cons of MIS approaches and selection of patients for MIS surgery |
