Overview:

This is the fourth of a series of Brain Tumor and Minimally Invasive Spine Symposia organized by the scientific committee of (brain) spine surgeons sponsored by the Latin American Neurosurgical Society, USA/Canada directed to physicians that have a special interest or training in the field of Brain (Tumors) and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery The committee has chosen the most frequently utilized procedures, and has designed a program of lectures and cadaver workshops, as well as live demonstrations for the (brain tumor) and MISS team.

At the completion of the Symposium, the participants will be able to identify the indications for brain tumor and minimally invasive spine surgeries, have a detailed and practical knowledge of the approaches and technical pitfalls for each of the selected procedures, and able to assess the results, prevent the risks, and manage the potential complications related to them.

Objective:

It is the objective of this Symposium to establish a forum for the discussion of topics related to MISS and newer brain surgery techniques to strengthen the level of competence of the participants.  Another objective is to establish a good communication within the surgical team that is integrated by the surgeons, nurses, OR technicians, monitoring team, radiology technicians, anesthesiologists, and rehabilitators who participate in the ultimate results of the surgical treatment of brain and spinal disorders.
