With this transformative support from @yyc_health we can help patients recover faster after spine surgery and be able to offer ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery options to patients. This investment will lead to better patient care and research in spine surgery!.

How do you facilitate the resection of an intradural component of a nerve sheath tumour? . Valsalva manoeuvre to 40cmH20, using CSF pressure to "pop" out the tumour. Ultrasound shows complete resection of intradural component.

The Calgary Endoscopic Spine Surgery Program was featured in @yyc_health’s Breakthroughs Magazine last fall. Since our first case in Jan 20th, more than 30 patients have benefitted from endoscopy. We are on track to helping up to 80-100 patients this year!
