DESCRIPTION
Cleveland Spine Review: Hands-On 2008 is a comprehensive course utilizing the cadaver laboratory and didactic sessions with ample time for discussion. This intensive course emphasizes the fundamentals of spine surgery, particularly biomechanical considerations, and the surgery decision-making process.
View comments from past attendees
Through intensive, hands-on sessions utilizing cadavers, participants study surgical techniques and strategies for a range of procedures including:
- screw, lateral mass, pedicle and wire fixation, as well as
- occipitocervical and cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and
- lid sacral surgical techniques.
Complex surgical exposures in all regions of the spine are emphasized.
Led by experienced faculty, the course examines the multiple adjuncts to surgery, including soft tissue and bone retractors and distractors, minimally invasive surgical techniques, spinal implants (from multiple vendors), and dissection tools. Non-operative strategies are also emphasized.
Significant time is dedicated to operative indication discussions. The problem-based decision-making process is introduced and emphasized during these very interactive discussions.
View comments from past attendees
Nurses have the unique opportunity to learn side by side, in didactic sessions as well as a cadaver laboratory, with surgeons in a relaxed, collegial atmosphere.
Additionally, a special nursing seminar is held at noon the first day to meet fellow attendees and prepare for the content to be presented throughout the remainder of the course. A variety of nursing breakout sessions and a cadaver dedicated to nursing attendees gives participants a multifaceted learning experience. Social functions complete an extremely memorable course.
Cleveland Clinic (OH-045) is an approved provider of continuing education by the Ohio Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (OBN-001-91). Provider status valid through 10-1-09.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the Spine Review, the participant will be able to:
- Utilize problem-based decision-making to develop logical algorithms for solving complex problems.
- Employ physiological and surgical principles to spinal fusion and instrumentation.
- Apply anatomic and physiologic principles to the variety of surgical approaches available to access all regions of the spine.
- Recognize the fundamental skills required to perform the most appropriate operation for any given clinical pathology, and to recognize one‘s own limitations in these regards.
- Evaluate available instrumentation systems and appreciate the advantages of each, as well as the relative indications for their use.
COmments from the past course evaluation forms
"This was a one of a kind course! It was wonderful dealing with a very friendly group of people. Everyone was so helpful and willing to teach. The course was intense during the day and the social activities were a great way to unwind from the day. The lectures followed by labs enhanced the learning process." "This is by far the best course I have attended. The topics covered are all pertinent and the course is the right length. The interaction with the faculty during dissections was very valuable. The hike is a great break and occurred at the right time. It would be hard to improve the course." "Happy to work in a small group especially in the lab. Thank you for offering special nursing topics." |

honored guest FACULTY
| Wolfgang Rauschning, MD, PhD |
Professor of Clinical Applied Anatomy Academin University Hospital Uppsala, Sweden |
Wolfgang Rauschning, MD, PhD developed an anatomical technique for crysectioning of fresh-frozen, nondecalcified specimens. This technique renders anatomical images of unprecedented precision and color rendition. This technique has been predominantly employed to studies of the anatomy and pathology of the spine, ranging from normal anatomy and its variations, to a wide variety of pathologies such as trauma, degenerative conditions, tumors and metastases. In addition, a large number of specimens were processed that stem from deceased who had spinal surgery. Professor Rauschning has published over 200 original peer reviewed journal articles, written over 100 textbook chapters, developed numerous electronic teaching programs, and also received numerous honors, prizes and awards, among them the Volvo Award in clinical sciences. Currently he is faculty on many international spine courses, symposia and educational meetings, he also is a member of most spine societies and several task forces and study groups. He is an orthopaedic surgeon by training and has mainly been involved in the development of knee arthroscopic surgery and reconstruction techniques. His medical studies were in Kiel, Germany, and he has been practicing in Sweden since 1967. |
