Basic principles of spinal surgery

This day is organized to discuss for each of the main spinal surgical techniques "WHEN", with particular emphasis therefore on the indications and "HOW", underlining some of the most important and potentially critical surgical steps. Finally, for each technique, some of the most common and important complications will be treated and we will close with a few clinical cases that will serve as a starting point for the "decision making-process”.
