The renowned Dr. Christian Schinder organized the First Endoscopic Spine Surgery Course at the Xarxa Tecla Hospital in Tarragona, a pioneering event in the training of advanced minimally invasive techniques for spine specialists.
This course, designed for spine surgeons and specialists, provided a unique opportunity to learn about the latest innovations in endoscopic surgery. One of the most remarkable features of the course was the live surgeries, which were broadcasted in real-time to the auditorium, allowing participants to observe every detail of the procedure—from endoscopic access to the resolution of complex pathologies—under the expert guidance of Dr. Schinder.
In addition, attendees had the opportunity to apply what they learned through hands-on practice sessions with models, where they became familiar with endoscopic tools and honed their skills in a controlled environment. This practical approach allowed the participating surgeons to solidify theoretical concepts with direct clinical application.
The course featured the special participation of Professor Frank Hassel, an internationally recognized expert in endoscopic spine surgery from Freiburg, Germany. As the international guest, Professor Hassel brought his vast experience in the application of endoscopic techniques and shared insights on the latest trends and complex clinical cases, further enriching the participants' learning experience.
This event marked a milestone in specialist training in Spain, establishing Xarxa Tecla and Dr. Schinder as leaders in the teaching and application of minimally invasive spine surgery techniques.
