Workshop Description

The Movora Neurosurgery Level I course is designed for residents and/or boarded surgeons that are skilled at surgery and wish to expand their surgical repertoire to neurosurgery. The skills taught will be thoracolumbar hemi-laminectomy, dorsal laminectomy for lumbosacral decompression, and ventral slot decompression. This one-and-a-half-day course will consist of a combination of lecture & lab sessions beginning with theory and a detailed step-by-step description of the procedures. Demonstration of the procedure by an instructor on a cadaver will also be provided. The attendees will then perform the procedures on cadavers and can repeat the procedures as needed. Instrumentation will include standard surgical instrumentation, specialized spinal instrumentation, high speed burr, and drills.
