Come and join us at Queen Square for a hands-on day of theory and practice, featuring expert-delivered lectures and exciting practical simulations. The event will focus around the various approaches to the spine, and the latest tips and tricks to ensure safe access - utilising the latest in innovative simulation models from UpSurgeOn to translate practice into reality.
The morning sessions will be themed around the cervical spine and the essentials in accessing this space while avoiding the delicate essential structures of the anterior neck. The afternoon will introduce lectures in the repair of CSF leaks and the principles of spine instrumentation, and delegates will practice lateral mass and pedicle screw techniques.
This event is chiefly targeted at neurosurgical registrars further along in their training who wish to hone their spinal surgery skills, although more junior trainees will also be welcome should space allow. This will be a highly interactive and integrated course and as such we anticipate high levels of enthusiasm throughout the day.
