Monoportal Endoscopy in Qingdao, China: A Breakthrough in Spine Surgery

Dr. Covaro recently traveled to Qingdao, China to participate in a leading training course on monoportal endoscopy, an advanced surgical technique that is revolutionizing the treatment of spinal pathologies. This course, organized in collaboration with Beijing University and PRIM, brought together a select group of specialists with the aim of honing skills and sharing the latest scientific advances in the field of minimally invasive surgery.

During an intensive week, Dr. Covaro, along with other renowned experts, participated in a series of activities that included live surgeries, hands-on training sessions, and academic discussions on new approaches in the treatment of spinal pathologies. The surgeries performed during this event were not only an example of precision and technical skill, but also an opportunity to review and analyze the latest research in this medical area.

Monoportal endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that allows the surgeon to access the spine through a single, small incision, thereby reducing postoperative pain, recovery time, and the risk of complications for the patient. This methodology has proven to be especially effective in the treatment of herniated discs and spinal stenosis, allowing for a faster recovery and significantly improving the quality of life of patients.

The course not only met, but exceeded the expectations of the program, consolidating Qingdao as an international reference center in the development of spinal endoscopy. Dr. Covaro highlighted the quality of the work carried out and the opportunity to collaborate with excellent professionals who are leading the advancement of endoscopic surgery worldwide.

This type of international exchange is key to keeping our team at the forefront of medical innovations, allowing us to apply the latest knowledge and techniques for the benefit of our patients. The experience acquired by Dr. Covaro during this week of work in China reinforces our commitment to offering advanced and effective treatments for the management of spinal pathologies.

At the Instituto de Columna Vertebral we continue to invest in ongoing training and the incorporation of the most advanced techniques to guarantee the best possible care for our patients.
