2nd Annual Spinal Navigation, Emerging Technologies and Systems Integration Course is organized by Seattle Science Foundation (SSF) and will be held on Dec 09, 2017 at Seattle Science Foundation, Seattle, Washington, United States Of America.
The target audience for this medical event is for neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and allied healthcare professionals who treat surgical spinal conditions. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
This is an advanced training course held for orthopedic and neurosurgeons who treat spinal conditions. Nationally recognized speakers will focus on provocative topics and in-depth debates regarding spinal navigation and robotics application in spine surgery. They will also provide hands-on workshops in state-of-the-art lab facilities. The design is to gain knowledge and experience of the new modalities in spine surgery, addressing both the guidelines and controversies of the field, as well as attaining hands-on exposure and training in the cadaver lab.
Learning Objectives :
By attending this course, the participant will provide better patient care through an increased ability to:
• Interpret the cost-effectiveness of navigation in case studies
• Discriminate when and why navigation is needed
• Indicate when robotic-assisted spine surgery is beneficial in spine
• Indicate the benefits of using a robotics system for surgery
• Illustrate the appropriateness and application of machine-vision image-guided surgery
• Illustrate the possibilities in treatment with pain management
• Illustrate how human factors play a critical role including training and implementation
• Preview each lab station and what the technology is that is being highlighted
• Perform cadaveric procedures utilizing both image guidance and robotics
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
