Programm

Dear colleagues,
Cervical and lumbar disc herniation is a common problem requiring discectomy. In general, open spinal discectomy is associated with muscle and ligamentum flavum dissection, which can cause scaring and long-term side effects. In oder to make cervical and lumbar disc surgery minimally invasive, Prof. Dr. med. Sebastian Ruetten has developed a Richard Wolf endoscope for both cervical and lumbar discectomy. His operative techniques significally reduce the risks of these potential complications.

The endoscopic cervical and lumbar discectomy is another step advance from cervical and lumbar microdiscectomy that is performed with the use of the operating microscope. The surgical visualization by an endoscope is better than with the operating microscope. Because an endoscope can enter into surgical anatomy and has a capability to look around with 25-degree lens unlike the operating microscope that views the surgical site from a distance, endoscopic discectomy requires a smaller incision and less tissue dissection than microscopic discectomy. Obviously, this minimally invasive, less traumatic, endoscopic cervical  and lumbar discectomy leads to excellent results, faster recovery, and significant economic saving, which is extremely gratifying for both the patient and the surgeon.

This time we include more advanced lecture and workshop table for recess decompression surgery with the new scope. We have accomplished this technique for a couple of years with good results.

We will devote ourselves to further development in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery. In this situation, we are very grateful for your participation. We hope that this training course will offer great opportunities to neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons to communicate, exchange experiences and upgrade their expertise which would eventually lead to further development and innovation in this field.


Thank you very much.

Dear colleagues,
At Bumrungrad, we strive for professional excellence and innovation in all we do. We participate actively in the advancement of medicine practice through research and education. For Spine Surgery, in June 2011 the Bumrungrad Spine Institute has been established at our hospital. In addition, we launched the Asian Full Endospine Training Center in collaboration with St. Anna Hospital Herne and Richard Wolf GmbH at Bumrungrad. This evidenced the recognition of the capabilities and experience of our spine surgeons in advance endoscopic techniques pioneered in Germany.

As you may already be aware, Prof. Dr. med. Sebastian Ruetten is a world pioneer who invented a special technique for using an endoscope to operate patients with herniated discs and stenosis. In 2008, Dr. Ruetten and Dr. Kuansongtham decided to become partners in training doctors around the world for the full-endoscopic spine and cervical surgery. Each year, they will jointly organize a symposium for full-endoscopic surgery of the lumbar and cervical spine twice a year in Germany (March and September), and once a year in Thailand (around January).

Since Thailand is the only training center in Asia, each time we received participants from many countries in this region like Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea and India. We trust that you will find our symposium even more interesting forum for exchange of knowledge and experiences among doctors with diverse background.
