Advanced tissue sensors during surgery near nerves are key to preventing damage. As we move toward autonomous robotic tools (beyond image guidance alone), they’ll become even more critical. @UCSF @SeoulNatlUni

For me, it’s always been about the people. Colleagues you suffer alongside, mentors who pull you up, and mentees you advocate for. Grateful for the old and new relationships this past weekend… and excited for the next chapter ahead. #issg #spinesurgery #fellows

https://t.co/U9ZixuA9kz Spine endoscopy isn’t just for stenosis, disc herniation, or spondy. It’s also an option for treating extruded synovial cysts without upfront fusion in select cases. #endoscopy #misspine #spine #neurosurgery #orthopedic

Biportal endoscopy is my weapon of choice, but I’ll admit, uniportal @gardocki_ray @DrJonOh has its moments. Happy to see @Ghenbot_MD finally join the X. @AANSNeuro #spine #surgery
Great weekend in Boston @AANSNeuro connecting with colleagues and sharing our work under @jwyoonspine characterizing outcomes after endoscopic and open approaches for lumbar discectomy @PennNSG

Two-level TLIF procedures have traditionally been performed through open midline, Wiltse, or tubular approaches. Biportal endoscopic TLIF represents a feasible, safe, and minimally invasive alternative that may reduce the morbidity associated with multilevel lumbar fusion. #spine
