Ten faculty members from Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore and Cochin who are experts in minimally invasive spine surgeries conducted the course. 5 live surgeries were performed during the course through interactive audio visual sessions. Lectures and case discussions were also a part of the program.

The course was supported and endorsed by the Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeons of India (MISSI). We also have 10 CME credit points for this activity from the Dr. MGR University, Chennai, which is the maximum granted for this type of activity. About 50 orthopedic and spine surgeons from different parts of the Country attended and it was a huge success.
