Asian Congress of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Techniques (ACMISST) today announced its 4th chapter of its very exclusive and comprehensive global forum on spine health that will be held this year in India from September 24th – 27th, 2015 at Hotel Cidade de Goa.
ACMISST is a platform for spine surgeons to know the various developments in spine surgery and advancement in spine health technologies. The conference is jointly hosted by Asian Academy of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (Asia MISS) Korea, and International Intra-discal and Transforaminal Surgery Association (IITTS), USA every year. The first conference was held in Shanghai in 2011 and now this year it’s going to be hosted in India.
It’s one of its kinds of platform where surgeons, physicians, scientists and other spine specialists from spine care field get great opportunity to discuss and acquire knowledge about latest techniques in the field of spine surgery from leading international experts. Meeting also provides platform to present the evidence, debate, and to discuss controversial topics about surgical and other procedures as well as the treatment of spine patients. It also has various sessions for conservative treatment and pain management.
The main change has been a shift in spine surgery from a morbid surgery under general anesthesia to stitch less surgery under local anesthesia. Minimal Access Surgery procedures can induce cost savings by eliminating the need for blood transfusions, shortening recovery time so patients spend less time in the hospital, improving outcomes so patients can return to work more quickly and allowing the procedure to move into the outpatient setting. This way World of spine care is changing to minimal invasion and doing only what is necessary by zeroing on pain generators and new philosophy of targeting pain.
After its first chapter in 2011 in Shanghai there has been much progress made in the field of minimal invasive spine surgery, so Goa ACMISST is going to be more exciting as this meet will unfold widest and most dynamic platform ever on spine health technologies. This year it will intentionally take a leap into the future to unveil, explore and understand the Gen-NEXT in spine procedures and techniques with special focus on three main pillars of surgery of degenerative spine, namely Minimal Access Surgery, Pain Management and Stitch less Spine Surgery under Local Anesthesia and these themes will be exhaustively handled throughout this conference, revealed Dr. Satish Chandra Gore, President ACMISST2015.
