LES Society to sponsor spine symposium at CNS meeting: 3 notes

Spine

The Less Exposure Surgery Society is slated to sponsor a spine surgeon symposium during the Congress of Neurological Surgeons' annual meeting at the end of the month.

The LES Society was founded to advance less exposure surgery, a spinal procedure that is less invasive than minimally invasive surgery. The society hopes that usage of LES will shift more elective spine surgeries from hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers.

 

Here's what you need to know:

 

1. The symposium's focus will be on the medical technology company AxioMed's new cervical and lumbar viscoelastic total disc replacements.

 

2. Other discussion topics include total disc replacement, standalone cages with screws and comparing anterior cervical fusion using plates and screws.

 

3. The featured speakers include neurosurgeons Fassil Mesfin, MD, and Juan Valdivia, MD. The moderator is Kingsley Chin, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and founder of the LES Society.
