NSpine Combined Cadaveric & Live Tissue Training: 22nd - 24th April 2027

We are delighted to invite you to join us in Strasbourg at the famous IRCAD training centre to attend what is probably the highest level of surgical training that can be provided outside of actual surgery.

Our faculty are selected for their recognised expertise and teaching ability. NSpine provides the foundation at IRCAD for you to experience the ideal training workshops.

Our delegates are typically experienced surgeons from across the globe who seek out NSpine training events – and especially the faculty – to hone their skills and acquire new cutting edge techniques.

The faculty : delegate ratio is 1:2 and for select expert training modules 1:1.

Combining cadaveric and live tissue training is an advanced and highly effective means of teaching not only advanced approaches to the spine and implant handling, but also the management of complications which may occur. Especially with regard to anterior and lateral lumbar and thoracic techniques where the approaches are complex and the potential for complications significant.

NSpine is therefore proud to again be hosting the unique combined cadaveric and live tissue training event at the famous IRCAD centre. A number of workshops are available to be combined to uniquely meet the individual delegates training need. An international faculty panel of highest repute will deliver comprehensive training with a focus on 1:2 faculty – delegate ratio.

Venue

IRCAD is a global leader in surgical training. The surgical lab is at the heart of state-of-the-art facilities.

17 tables are fully equipped for surgical cadaveric dissection or live tissue surgery including endoscopic techniques. The lab is set up for fluoroscopy and advanced 3D imaging for image-guided or robotic surgery.

Course Format

The focus of the event is on surgical training. Delegates will spend most of their time in the laboratory with the faculty. Lecture packages covering essential course content for modules booked are provided online in advance of the event for preparation.

At the venue, additional drop in case discussion and technical tips and tricks sessions are offered each morning 7:30-8:30 and lunch break 12:30-13:30. Faculty will adjust the topics of these sessions to delegates learning requirements.

Each workshop day is split into two sessions – morning 8:30-11:30 and afternoon 13:30-16:30. Delegates may attend single workshops or combine workshops across multiple days. Please note that some modules run over more than one day and not all modules can be combined. Each day several modules are run in parallel, some modules are run repeatedly.
