For surgeons only

Upgrade Workshop

These upgrade events are designed and tailored to support surgeons who want to take their first deepening steps in endoscopy. At the events, we provide an overview of endoscopy and break down each surgeon‘s career path to show them how they can advance endoscopically.

Three participants, as well as an ESPINEA^® faculty member, will discuss new techniques and case reports, both from the portfolios of all attendees, to exchange the experiences in the operating room. Thus, allowing us to see where each surgeon is in their endoscopy career and how they can overcome any obstacles or uncertainties. With the guidance from a seasoned veteran, everything is possible.

Target Group

Surgeons experienced in endoscopic procedures who want to expand their range of indications. Appointments can be made individually and can serve as preparation for a subsequent course at a higher level.

Please note:
Own images and case reports are mandatory.
Only three participants per upgrade workshop. All participants need to have endoscopic experience.

General Information and Workshop Registration

During the workshop, participants will learn to plan and perform proper endoscopic access to the spine. The treatment of herniated discs and the performance of bony decompression will also be trained. Endoscopic pain treatment and stabilization options will be demonstrated and practiced in specific courses.

In all courses the electromagnetic navigation system Intracs^® ^em is demonstrated and applied.
