Mastering microsurgical techniques to successfully deliver MIS

Minimally invasive spinal surgery requires surgeons master microsurgical techniques. Surgeons must become well acquainted with the operating microscope and an array of microsurgical tools designed for decompression, disc preparation, implant placement and complication management through small tubular access ports.

Often not taught outside the operating room, spinal microsurgery techniques prove crucial if surgeons wish to successfully perform MIS.

 

In an upcoming webinar sponsored by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Roger Härtl, MD, of New York City Presbyterian Hospital – Weill Cornell Medicine, will discuss how to combine microsurgical techniques, navigation and instrumentation technology to successfully perform MIS. He serves as a neurological surgery professor and director of spinal surgery at Weill Cornell Brain & Spine Center.

 

Further, Dr. Härtl will touch on pathologies treated with MIS surgery, advantages associated with MIS and limitations of MIS.
