Dear Colleagues,
During the training course we intend, in a reciprocal exchange with yourselves, to try to demonstrate the current options as well as problems, risks and complications of percutaneous and endoscopic denervation of the zygoapophyseal and sacroiliac joints. 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.
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.
