Hands-On Spine Course 

Pre-Congress Workshop – World Spine 11

An intensive two-day cadaver-based spine surgery training designed to provide true operative experience under realistic conditions.

Core focus: High-quality cadaver dissection

·         Training on anatomical specimens prepared using the Fix for Life® method

·         Preserved natural tissue texture and anatomical realism

·         Authentic tactile feedback comparable to live surgery

·         Clear intraoperative anatomical orientation

Structured hands-on setup

·         18 fully equipped dissection stations

·         3 participants per specimen

·         Close supervision by experienced spine neurosurgeons

Surgical spectrum

·         Open cervical, thoracic, lumbar and lumbosacral approaches

·         Minimally invasive techniques (XLIF, TLIF)

·         Endoscopic procedures (full-endoscopic and tubular approaches)

Participants gain:

·         Real dissection experience

·         Improved anatomical confidence

·         Refined surgical workflow

·         Direct technical exchange with international experts

This course is centered on cadaver-based surgical training —
 providing realistic anatomy, controlled learning, and operative precision.
