Description

It is recognized that traditional “open” spinal surgery carries risk for injury to back muscles, is associated with greater blood loss, long hospital stays, analgesia usage and prolonged recovery times. Minimally invasive spinal (MIS) surgery techniques and navigation for spinal surgery are rapidly evolving and have shown to reduce the risks of open approaches.

We recognize that these techniques are challenging and with these considerations in mind, this course led by expert faculty, provides a forum for exposure to the latest cutting edge techniques used in MIS spinal surgery and navigation. The format for the course will follow small group case discussions, hands on surgery in a bioskills lab with human cadavers, interactive debates as well didactic lectures.
Learning objectives
Identify the anatomy and radiology of spinal and paraspinal structures
Determine which types of pathology are amenable to minimally invasive spinal surgery
Describe the state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgery used in these approaches

Recognize the pros and cons of MIS approaches and their indications for selection of patients for MIS surgery
Outline the signature steps in the PLIF, TLIF procedures and safe access to the lumbar spine through transpsoas and antero-lateral approaches
