IGOF MASTER’S COURSE ON MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY

Indo-German Orthopaedic Foundation invites you to a Master's Course on Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. A distinguished international faculty will take you through the new developments in the field. The programme, that includes live surgeries will be conducted at MIOT Hospitals, a leading centre for orthopaedic surgery in India.

DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2008 CHENNAI, INDIA

Indo German Orthopaedic Foundation will conduct its 1st IGOF Spine Course on Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Chennai at MIOT Hospitals on Saturday, October 11, 2008.

In past 50 years, Spine surgery has emerged as one of the fastest growing disciplines of medicine. With growing experiences in spine surgery, the surgical fraternity has witnessed a flip side of open spine surgeries. Extensive epidural and paraspinal scarring, loss of posterior tension band, delayed rehabilitation, loss of working hours etc, have raised concerns and have paved the way for the development of Minimally Invasive Spine technologies. We, in this spine course, have tried to present a few of many minimally invasive spine technologies, namely:

Dynamic stabilization of degenerated lumbar motion segment using DIAMTM
Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation of thoraco-lumbar spine

Dynamic stabilization of degenerated lumbar motion segment using DIAMTM:

The DIAMTM (Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion) Spinal Stabilization System provides flexible support of the lumbar spine while treating spinal degeneration. It has some benefits over conventional spinal fusion. DIAMTM fits between the interspinous processes and functions as a shock absorber that reduces loads on the surroundings vertebrae. It also negates the possibility of adjacent segment disease (ASD). Thus DIAMTM provides an alternate to fusion surgery with comparable outcomes.

Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation of thoraco-lumbar spine:
Disadvantage of conventional pedicle systems are:

Extensive soft tissue dissection
Blood loss
Extensive scar tissue formation postoperatively

Leads to delayed recovery resulting in prolonged hospitalization, increased cost to patients, and increased incidence of scar induced back pain.

Percutaneous pedicle screw fixations:

Do not need extensive soft tissue dissection
Avoids large midline incision
Avoids significant paraspinal muscle dissection
Screws and precontoured rod are inserted from a separate stab incision
Less blood loss
Dilation of paraspinal muscles to insert screws

This results in less scar tissue formation and rapid rehabilitation.

The Faculty
DR.RALF H. GAHR

Dr. Ralf H. Gahr is an orthopaedic trauma surgeon with specialist qualifications in surgery, trauma surgery, hand surgery, surgical intensive care and orthopaedic surgery.
