Description

This two and a half day, HANDS-ON course, aims specifically to teach participants the principles of endoscopic lumbar spine surgery. A short, but focused session on Day one, will take you step by step through the common endoscopic procedures (Transforaminal discectomy, Interlaminar discectomy, Decompression of the lateral recess and Unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression). Day two will split the participants into two groups doing interactive cases discussions and a basic workshop teaching the handling and orientation you need for endoscopic surgery. Day three is unique, as it will be all hands-on training of the above procedures on realistic spine models using navigation for localization. To enhance the learning experience, the participants will again be split into two groups, one doing the procedures while the other benefit from observing, before changing roles.
