For the workshop, Dr. Deshpande V Rajakumar, director, department of neurosurgery, Fortis Hospitals and organising chairman, Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery Society of India (MISSI), brought together the team of national and international surgeons who performed and witnessed live surgeries.
“Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery is going to be the future of global spine surgery. The workshop was conducted to educate young surgeons in both basic and advanced technologies that could help them understand various dynamics of MISS. The live demonstration of techniques helps doctors to learn and adopt MISS which would further help patients get the latest advanced level treatment”, said Dr. Rajakumar

Having been an early adapter of this technique for about 14 years, this initiative of creating a platform for knowledge helps to share and train in developing new endoscopic approaches to brain and spine diseases,” he added.
