5th Spine Surgery Hands-on Course 2024 - Surgical Approaches to Junction in Spine
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to extend a warm welcome as we embark on an exciting journey with the upcoming Hands-on Course – Part V on Junction Surgery in Spine. Building on the success of our previous courses, particularly Part 4 in May 2023, we are thrilled to continue this educational series.
The hands-on cadaver course will once again be hosted at the Institute of Anatomy at the Saarland University Medical Center. This installment will delve into the most crucial techniques in craniocervical, cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbosacral junction spine surgery.
The course includes two days lectures and hands-on work in the cadaver laboratory. During the hands-on sessions, there will be intensive training, with one tutor assigned to each station and two to three participants. After the first day, there will also be a course dinner with the participants and faculty.
We are excited to announce that esteemed experts in spine surgery, particularly focusing on junction spine surgery, will be joining us as invited faculty members, enriching the course with their invaluable insights.
We eagerly anticipate your participation and look forward to welcoming you to Homburg-Saar for this enriching experience.
