Each December, NYC-MISS brings together national and international practicing neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons, fellows, and residents-in-training to explore minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques and navigation for spinal surgery. The agenda is focused on teaching new operative skills and encouraging debate and discussion around MIS spine techniques. Combining didactic and case-based sessions with hands-on cadaveric dissections and learning on state-of-the-art simulation models, this course will equip participants with the skills they need to use these approaches in their own practices.
