25–26 June 2026 | IRCAD, Strasbourg
Structured endoscopic training delivered in small groups within a high-level surgical skills lab environment.
Spinal Endoscopy 2026 offers structured endoscopic training delivered in small groups at IRCAD Strasbourg. The programme combines pre-course e-learning with intensive hands-on surgical skills lab training and expert-led case discussions.
Choose the Introduction Course if you are new to spinal endoscopy, or the Advanced Course if you already have endoscopic experience and want to refine technique and expand to advanced applications, including fusion strategies.
Train at IRCAD in a structured station format using anatomical specimens, surgical simulators, and virtual reality technologies.
Limited places ensure close faculty supervision, direct technical feedback, and meaningful faculty interaction.
