Dear colleagues,
I am increasingly convinced that surgery in spinal diseases must be the result of an intellectual process by the surgeons who, based on their comprehensive and ever updated knowledge, can give their patients the best advice to relief symptoms and functional diseases.
Therefore, based on the observation and evaluation of clinical cases and in order to increase our knowledge, discussion is extremely important to reach a consensus and assess outcomes and possible complications.
I decided to organize this expert forum on treatment of Spondylolisthesis in an important research centre called “Sardegna Ricerche”, a science and technology park located a few km from the city of Cagliari.
This is the place where I am involved in a number of research projects on spinal surgery with a group of bioengineers.
It will be the best suited venue for an interactive international meeting on an extremely interesting topic, with an update on new technological developments in the surgical treatment of this condition.
The meeting will include four sessions in two half-days. The first session on Friday afternoon will be about adult spondylolisthesis with lysis, while the topic of the second session will be spondyloptosis.
On Saturday morning, the two sessions will be devoted to paediatric spondylolisthesis and to the degenerative forms.
Only a limited number of participants will be accepted and discussion will be encouraged throughout the meeting.
I hope that this event can be constructive and interesting for all.
Pier Paolo Mura
