Format:
Module I: Thoracic, Lumbar, and Pelvic Instrumentation and Navigation: Foundational
anatomy and landmarks for safe screw preparation and insertion at spinal and pelvic levels,
with introduction to navigation setup and use.
Module II: Open and Microsurgical Lumbar Decompression Techniques: Principles of
exposure and decompression from open to microscope assisted techniques, with attention to
dura handling, closure, and complication avoidance.
Module III: Posterior Instrumented Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Overview of posterior lumbar
interbody fusion and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, including planning, neural
protection, discectomy, cage placement, and fusion principles.
Module IV: Anterior and Lateral Lumbar Spine Access and Instrumentation: Approaches for
anterior and lateral access to the lumbar spine, exposure at L5 and S1 and L3 to L5, device
placement, and key risk recognition including vascular considerations.
Module V: Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery: Core techniques including anterior cervical
discectomy and fusion, corpectomy, and cervical disc arthroplasty, with focus on safe
dissection, protection of vital structures, and device implantation.
Module VI: Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery: Decompression and fusion techniques with
instrumentation options, navigation support, and postoperative pathways for safe and
effective cervical care.
Module VII: Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Principles and practice of endoscopic discectomy and
foraminotomy, imaging guided workflow, instrumentation setup, and integration of minimally
invasive concepts.
Module VIII: Scoliosis Surgery: Assessment and corrective strategies for scoliotic deformity
with posterior instrumentation, multidisciplinary planning, and complication management.
