A stellar group of renowned national and international surgeons will be attending to share their knowledge and expertise. The cadaver workshops extending over one and a half days will include the entire gamut of spine surgeries extending from basics posterior surgeries to anterior surgeries, minimally invasive surgeries and endoscopic surgeries at all levels of the spine from the cranio-vertebral junction to the sacrum/ilium. Our academic programme has been designed to offer something for everyone from trainees to junior surgeons to the senior surgeons.
