9th Annual MIS Spine Symposium 2023

Saturday, July 22, 2023, 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Seattle Science Foundation

The goal of the 9th Annual MIS Spine Symposium is to update spine surgeons, as well as allied health professionals on the latest advances in MIS surgical techniques.

The trend in spine surgery for many procedures has been moving toward minimally invasive approaches. These include spine surgery for lumbar fusion, deformity surgery, and cervical surgery. Despite numerous benefits of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery, there is a difficult learning curve for surgeons when mastering MIS procedures. Increasing familiarity with MIS techniques creates more options for surgeons treating spine conditions with the potential to decrease surgical complications. 

This conference will include lectures, live lab demonstrations and a hands-on bioskills session for in-person learners.
