April 18 - 19, 2024
Management of Complications in Anterior Thoracic and Abdominal Spine Approach. In Vivo Workshop – 6th ed.

Course Features

Description

This course is transversally focused so that spine surgeons learn to recognize and manage the different complications that can commonly appear during anterior thoracic and lumbar spine approaches, and that require knowledge related to other surgical specialties such as general surgery, vascular surgery, urology and thoracic surgery. Vascular, general, urological and thoracic specialists will offer participants the opportunity for supervised live tissue training on anesthetized pigs.
This course does not have any sections.

Goals

At the end of the course, participants should be able to:

  • Understand the benefits and risks inherent to the possible routes of rachis approach: anterior, lateral, posterior oblique, percutaneous, as well as their limitations.
  • Know tricks and errors of the anterior thoracic and lumbar spine approaches.
  • Perform in live tissue experimental surgery to learn how to:
    • Identify structures and strategies to avoid damage to relevant viscera.
    • Practical visceral vascular, intestinal, ureteral, pulmonary, diaphragmatic and esophageal management.
    • Demonstrate practical competence in the repair of vascular, intestinal, ureteral, pulmonary, diaphragmatic and esophageal injury.
