Our First Event of the Year! S-Spine Organized the “2024 International Advanced Spinal Endoscopic Masterclass in Bangkok”

For this talk, there was knowledge exchanged among physicians from S-Spine Hospital and physicians from abroad. It included techniques such as Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression (PSLD) for treating lumbar spinal stenosis, Percutaneous Stenoscopic Cervical Decompression (PSCD) for treating cervical disc herniation, and Endoscopic Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (Endo ACDF) which involves surgery of the cervical disc from the front and fusion of the joints. These techniques were presented by Dr. Matee Phakawech, a specialist in spinal disorders. Additionally, Dr. Saran Jindahara provided insights into thoracic spinal surgery with an endoscope using Percutaneous Stenoscopic Thoracic Decompression (PSTD) techniques. Dr. Chumpon Kakanan presented research findings on spinal fusion using Endoscopic Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Endo TLIF). Furthermore, we had the honor of hosting a spine specialist from Indonesia,
Dr. Alif Noeriyanto Rahman, who treated pain without surgery using pain intervention techniques such as “injections” and “nerve blocks.”

In the afternoon session, there was also a Live Surgery Workshop to allow participants to learn and exchange ideas closely. 

Dr. Dittapong Boonampol, the director of S-Spine Hospital, revealed that organizing a workshop on endoscopic spine surgery was the first event of the year. Experts in spine surgery from Thailand and abroad joined to share their knowledge and experiences.
