Wet Labs. Workshops on Anatomical Specimens. Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques for Lumbar Spine Fusion Treatments Minimally invasive spine surgery for degenerative diseases is rapidly gaining interest thanks to reduced trauma and less pain for the patient, shorter hospitalization and recovery times. Nevertheless, the learning curve for surgeons is steeper than for open procedures. This course will teach minimally invasive surgical treatments for lumbar spine fusion surgeries using: – MATRIX MIS (mini-open and percutaneous pedicle screws) – SpiRIT (Percutaneous pedicle screws) – T-PAL (mini-open...

Wet Labs. Workshops on Anatomical Specimens. Stentoplasty with Vertebral Body Stenting (VBS) The goal of this course is to share knowledge and experience and introduce the Vertebral Body Stenting (VBS) technology to surgeons who use the VBS system to treat vertebral compression fractures. This will help surgeons assess the potential of the VBS system, including its indications and the biomechanical mechanisms of reduction and stabilization. Furthermore, hands-on on anatomical specimen training will enhance understanding of the surgical principles on and provide the skills required to perform...

Wet Labs. Workshops on Anatomical Specimens. Aging Spine The aging of the population in industrialized countries appears to be a nonreversible phenomenon. An increase in life expectancy due to great improvements in healthcare has created pathologies that are highly complex to investigate and treat in elderly patients. Osteoporosis is a challenging condition for all spine surgeons. This course focuses on this interesting topic and engages opinion leaders to share their experiences and help you better understand the nature of different changes in the aging spine. Attention is given to the epidemiology...
