Programm

Dear Colleagues,

The therapy of degenerative diseases of the spine carries with it medical and socio-economic problems. After conservative measures are exhausted and where there are exacerbated pain conditions or neurological deficites, a surgical procedure may become necessary. Despite good therapy  results, consecutive damage may ensue due to traumatisation. It is therefore of particular importance to optimise these procedures on a continuous basis. The goal we should strive for is the minimization of surgically induced traumatisation and negative long-term consequences, taking into account the existing Quality standard.

Minimally invasive techniques can reduce tissue damage and its  consequences. Endoscopic operations demonstrate advantages which have raised these procedures to the standard in various medical areas. On the lumbar spine, as a result of the development of the interlaminar and lateral transforaminal access, the spinal canal with its adjoining structures can be reached fullendoscopically. Technical problems have been solved by special rodlens endoscopes with a large intra-endoscopic working channel and appropriate instruments. Working under a continuous stream of liquid offers options which have proved their worth in arthroscopic surgery through long experience.

During the training course, we intend, in a reciprocal exchange with  yourselves, to try to demonstrate the current and future options as well as problems, risks and complications of full-endoscopic operations in the area of the spine. In an environment of practical demonstration where you perform access routines on cadavers yourself, typical practical experience for your expected learning curve or future clinical application can be gathered. Under intensive tuition by instructors, each participant will perform the various access routines on a practical level and run through special working procedures. For this reason the number of participants is limited. Nevertheless, the training course cannot replace the acquisition of the necessary extensive knowledge.

Having regard to the considerable demand for national and international training courses we hope we have pinpointed your field of interest in the enclosed program and would be happy to welcome you as a participant at our training course and dinner.
