joimax® USA Workshops
joimax® offers a broad range of training courses via our CM3 Workshop Program. Participants will develop deep endoscopic knowledge by means of expert lectures on anatomy, indications and contraindications, surgical techniques and instrumentation, combined with intense practical training on dedicated simulators and anatomical specimens. Special experiences, pitfalls, limitations and the individual management of complications along with anesthetic strategies and postoperative care are also discussed. Participants in our workshop program may reach experience levels from 1 to 4. The 2-day Endoscopic Spinal Surgery Level 1-2 Workshop (360° Endo- Deherniation/Decompression Management) provides a wide basis of knowledge. Particularly for beginners, the unique transforaminal access to the spinal canal and the spatial orientation of the view through the endoscope can be challenging. Next, the 2-day Endoscopic Spinal Surgery Level 3-4 Workshop (360° Endo-Stenotic Decompression & Stabilization) is designed to deepen existing knowledge and expand further surgical techniques (ie: cervical treatment options and endoscopic fusion techniques) and is suited for the experienced spine surgeon. The Pain Therapy Workshop (Endo-Facet-SI Discogenic Pain Management) is a 1-day course which addresses facet and sacroiliac joint treatment, peripheral nerve treatment and interventional nucleus therapy.
Course participants must meet preliminary criteria in order for their registration to be approved.
Covid-19 Safety Statement: The health and safety of our employees, customers and other partners is of utmost importance to us. joimax® is taking all necessary precautions and following mandated guidelines to protect all staff, while supporting our workshop attendees in the best way possible. We ask anyone experiencing symptoms of infection (fever, cough, shortness of breath) to refrain from entering our facility and to reschedule their workshop attendance to a future course date.

For surgeons only
Upgrade Workshop
These upgrade events are designed and tailored to support surgeons who want to take their first deepening steps in endoscopy. At the events, we provide an overview of endoscopy and break down each surgeon‘s career path to show them how they can advance endoscopically.
Three participants, as well as an ESPINEA® faculty member, will discuss new techniques and case reports, both from the portfolios of all attendees, to exchange the experiences in the operating room. Thus, allowing us to see where each surgeon is in their endoscopy career and how they can overcome any obstacles or uncertainties. With the guidance from a seasoned veteran, everything is possible.
Target Group
Surgeons experienced in endoscopic procedures who want to expand their range of indications.
Please note:
Own images and case reports are mandatory.
Only three participants per upgrade workshop. All participants need to have endoscopic experience.
During the workshop, participants will learn to plan and perform proper endoscopic access to the spine. The treatment of herniated discs and the performance of bony decompression will also be trained. Endoscopic pain treatment and stabilization options will be demonstrated and practiced in specific courses.
In all courses the electromagnetic navigation system Intracs® em is demonstrated and applied.
