Combining cadaveric and live tissue training is an advanced and highly effective means of teaching not only advanced approaches to the spine and implant handling, but also the management of complications which may occur. Especially with regard to anterior and lateral lumbar and thoracic techniques, the approaches are complex and the potential for complications significant.
NSpine is therefore proud to again be hosting the unique combined cadaveric and live tissue training event at the famous IRCAD centre. Which comprehensively cover most aspects of modern spine surgery. In a new collaboration, online learning packages will be provided on the module content through our partners at eccElearning in advance of the event.
eccElearning was founded in 2015 with the goal of improving the quality, convenience and cost effectiveness of educating the next generation of young spine surgeons, for the ultimate purpose of improving the treatment of patients suffering spinal disorders.
The Blackwell Foundation aims to advance healthcare for patients through enhanced surgical training.
The mission includes fostering surgical education and training internationally through dedicated programs in areas of need and collaborating with national and international societies to deliver and enhance training programs.
The OOT - Open Operating Theatre - is an extensive surgical internet Video library. OOT presents streamed Video content focused on Spine Surgeries, Master Lectures, Symposium Presentations as well as Educational Support.
