Scientific Sessions

Spine surgery has undergone remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by technological innovation, minimally invasive approaches, and improved understanding of spinal pathologies. Traditional open spine surgeries, often associated with long recovery times and significant complications, are increasingly being replaced by minimally invasive techniques. Procedures such as microdiscectomy, percutaneous spinal fusion, and endoscopic decompression allow surgeons to treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative spine disorders with smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster patient recovery. These approaches also minimize muscle and tissue damage, decreasing postoperative pain and shortening hospital stays.

Robotic-assisted systems and computer navigation have further transformed spine surgery, providing unprecedented precision in procedures such as spinal fusion, scoliosis correction, and vertebral stabilization. Advanced imaging techniques, including intraoperative 3D imaging and CT-guided navigation, help surgeons plan and execute surgeries with millimeter-level accuracy, improving implant placement and overall outcomes. Additionally, innovations in biomaterials, such as bioactive cages and synthetic bone grafts, promote better spinal fusion and healing. Together, these advancements enhance surgical safety, accelerate recovery, and improve long-term spinal function, marking a new era in personalized and high-precision spine care.
