11th Annual MIS Spine Symposium

June 28, 2025
Seattle , WA
The goal of the 11th Annual MIS Spine Symposium is to update spine surgeons and allied health providers on the latest advances in MIS surgical techniques.

The trend in spine surgery for many procedures has been moving toward minimally invasive approaches. These include spine surgery for lumbar fusion, deformity surgery, and cervical surgery. Despite numerous benefits of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery, there is a difficult learning curve for surgeons when mastering MIS procedures. Increasing familiarity with MIS techniques creates more options for surgeons treating spine conditions with the potential to decrease surgical complications.

This conference includes in-depth lectures, Q&A sessions and eight live lab demonstrations.
