Overview

Endoscopic spine surgery is transforming minimally invasive techniques, offering improved surgical outcomes with reduced tissue damage and faster recovery. These courses provide hands-on training for surgeons at different levels of expertise, allowing them to either begin their journey in spinal endoscopy or refine advanced skills in cervical, thoracic, and fusion techniques.

The courses take place at IRCAD, Strasbourg, a globally recognised centre for surgical training, and are taught by an expert faculty.
