Principles and Techniques of
Complex Spinal Reconstruction
A Hands-On Cadaveric Workshop
SPONSORED BY:
Weill Cornell Medical College
1-DAY COURSE DESCRIPTION
This will be a one-day workshop—part
didactic, part hands-on—that reviews the
most common complex spine techniques
used in contemporary spine surgery. The
intended audiences are senior neurosurgery
and orthopedic surgery residents and fellows
as well as practicing spine surgeons.
The course will start with morning lectures,
in which internationally renowned faculty
will present their experience with different
techniques for complex spine pathologies.
Following the lectures, course participants will go to the Weill
Cornell Anatomy Lab for the hands-on part of the course.
At six different stations, each with at least one faculty member,
participants will review the procedures and then perform them
on the cadavers. Tips, suggestions, and surgical pearls will be
discussed during this experience.

DATE AND TIME
Saturday, April 8, 2017 • 7:30am-6:00pm
Registration: 7:00–7:30am

IDENTIFIED PRACTICE GAPS/
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
Some spine pathologies require complex
approaches and techniques. There can be
limited exposure to these techniques in
practice. It is essential to organize work-
shops where experts in this eld are able to
discuss and demonstrate these techniques
in a focused fashion. Therefore, these types
of educational activities are invaluable to
address the gaps in most surgeons’ and trainees’ practices. Not all
spine surgeons received extensive training in complex spine
surgery. In this course expert faculty will show and teach
participants advanced surgical techniques in a safe environment.
The participants will be able to practice several different surgical
techniques for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbo-sacral spine that
include instrumentation of the spine.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is designed for senior neurosurgery and orthopedic
surgery residents and fellows as well as practicing spine surgeons.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
To review the principles of the most common complex spine
reconstruction techniques; demonstrate the technical aspects of
the most common complex spine reconstruction techniques;
identify the limitations and strengths of each type of complex
spine reconstruction technique; and understand patient safety in
the perioperative period after complex spine surgery.
