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 minimisation 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 full endoscopically. Technical problems have been solved by Special rod-lens 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. In the area of the cervical spine anterior or posterior access is possible.

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 fullendoscopic
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.
