During the workshop the participants shall learn how to plan and conduct the correct endoscopic access to the spine and treat disc herniations as well as to accomplish bone decompression. The treatment of endoscopic pain therapy and stabilization options are demonstrated and trained in special treatment workshops.

In all courses the electromagnetic navigation system Intracs^{® em} is demonstrated and applied. This smart navigation system is based on electromagnetic tracking of the instruments. Navigating the sensor tip makes it particularly suitable for an easy access to any spinal target.
