LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Albert Wong, a distinguished board-certified, dual fellowship-trained neurosurgeon, recently served as a faculty leader at the Globus MERC Lateral Spine Solutions cadaver course in Pennsylvania. This national event brought together top spine surgeons from across the United States to explore the latest advancements in lumbar surgical techniques, including single-position lateral lumbar interbody fusion surgeries, prone-lateral surgery, and anterior-to-psoas approaches.
Dr. Wong led an interactive training session focused on single-position lateral lumbar interbody fusion surgery, a technique that enhances surgical efficiency while maintaining patient safety. The course provided participants with hands-on cadaveric experience and evidence-based insights into cutting-edge approaches for treating complex lumbar spine conditions.
"Teaching these advanced surgical techniques to neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons is vital for advancing the standard of care," said Dr. Wong. "These lateral-based approaches, particularly single-position surgery, allow for greater precision and improved patient outcomes while reducing operative time and recovery periods."
The Globus MERC course highlighted the transformative role of innovative surgical methods in spine care, equipping surgeons with the skills and knowledge needed to deliver minimally invasive, motion-preserving solutions to their patients.
