V Brain Tumor & Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery SymposiumTelephone: (954) 907.9445 | Email: Veronicafuentes@Jvaleriomd.com

This is the fifth in a series of Brain Tumor and Minimally Invasive Spine Symposiums organized by the scientific committee of Brain and Spine surgeons sponsored by the Latin American Neurosurgical Society, USA/Canada directed to physicians that have a special interest or training in the field of Brain (Tumors) and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. The committee has chosen the most frequently utilized procedures, and has designed a program of lectures and cadaver workshops, as well as live demonstrations for the (brain tumor) and MISS team.

At the completion of the Symposium the participants will be able to identify the indicators for brain tumor and minimally invasive spine surgeries, have a detailed and practical knowledge of the approaches and technical pitfalls for each of the selected procedures, and able to assess the results, prevent the risks, and manage the potential complications related to them.
