This all-tubular intensive course will focus on minimally invasive microsurgical techniques performed using the microscope and tubular retractors. An exciting extension of the world-famous NYC-MISS course held every December, this Summer Master Class will provide intensive, in-depth training in tubular spine surgery featuring advanced VR technology. Using state-of-the-art RealSpine training models, and taught by leaders in MISS surgery, the course offers hands-on learning in the high-tech Weill Cornell Medicine Neurosurgical Innovations and Training Center. This innovative course, with training in minimally invasive tubular surgery and virtual reality, is a rare opportunity to learn technically demanding techniques from world leaders. Strictly limited to 15 participants, the course assures everyone will have plenty of hands-on time. Every participant will have the opportunity to perform each procedure taught, with one rotation on each procedure assisted by virtual reality headsets and software. (Note: This summer course is not accredited for CME.)
