This comprehensive one-day cadaveric masterclass is designed to provide a structured, hands-on learning experience in endoscopic spine surgery, catering to both surgeons atthe early stages of their spine practice and experienced endoscopic surgeons seeking to expand their skillset.

​

Participants will be guided through the fundamental principles of endoscopic spine surgery, including interlaminar and transforaminal lumbar approaches, with emphasis on patient selection, surgical anatomy, instrumentation, and step-by-step operative techniques. The course aims to build a strong foundation in safe and reproducible minimally invasive spine procedures.

​

For more advanced learners, the programme will extend into next-generation endoscopic techniques, including endoscopic lumbarinterbody fusion and cervical posteriorforaminotomy, highlighting indications, technical nuances, complication avoidance, and real-world surgical decision-making. Pearls and pitfalls from expert faculty will be shared to shorten the learning curve and improve operative confidence.

​

A key feature of this course is the extensive cadaveric hands-on component, allowing participants to practice techniques in a realistic surgical environment with close faculty supervision. This ensures translation of theoretical knowledge into practical skills.

​

By the end of the course, participants will gain a clear understanding of the indications, technical execution, and limitations of both basic and advanced endoscopic spine procedures, enabling them to safely integrate these techniques into their clinical practice.
