Overview
The 2022 UCSF Techniques in Complex Spine Surgery Course is a two-day course emphasizing pioneering trends in spinal surgery. This course is designed to be interactive with didactic lectures given by leaders in the spine community as well as a hands-on bioskills lab portion. Participants will review and practice surgical principles and techniques in the treatment of spinal deformities and tumors. As a result of hands-on sessions and case conferences, residents, fellows, and surgeons with less than an advanced level of experience will have improved skills in cases dealing with complex spinal deformities.
TARGET AUDIENCE

- Evaluate and treat pain related to spinal disorders in a cost-effective and reliable manner based on recently published guidelines;
- Evaluate and treat lumbar degenerative disease and deformity in a cost-effective manner based on an evidence based approach. and avoid case to morbidity risk;
- Identify risk factors that may predispose individuals to perioperative morbidity, determine modifiable risk factors and strategies for effective optimization;
- Diagnose spinal instability related to spinal tumors and formulate surgical treatment plans to address neurological deficits, pain, and instability in spine oncology patients based on published guidelines;
- Correlate radiographic findings to surgical anatomy as they pertain to the approach and techniques for minimizing complications.
