Learning Objectives:

Analyze various surgical techniques to address spinal pathologies
Describe applications of new technologies in spine surgery
Discuss complication avoidance strategies in spine surgery

This session will review and highlight the multi-disciplinary spine surgery success stories. We often focus on our complications and learn from them, but in a similar fashion we can also learn from our greatest success stories. This course will go through such cases and focus will be placed on critical components that led to the success of the case. Participants are encouraged to prepare and present cases for discussion.
