Dear Colleagues,
During the significant challenges currently facing Ukraine, the continuous development of medical science and practice remains a top priority. Under these circumstances, professional dialogue, exchange of experience, and implementation of modern technologies, as well as strengthening cooperation among specialists from different countries, are especially important. International scientific events of this level provide a platform for discussing current clinical issues and advancing effective approaches in modern spine surgery.
We are pleased to announce that on May 30–31, 2026, the Society for Minimal Invasive and Instrumented Spinal Surgery, under the auspices of the International Society for Minimal Intervention in Spine Surgery (ISMISS/SICOT), with the support of the North American Spine Society (NASS),World Federation Spine Endoscopy (WFSE) and the Ukrainian Spine Surgery Society, will hold the 22nd International Symposium
“Minimal Invasive and Instrumented Surgery of the Spine”
The scientific program of the symposium will cover key areas of minimally invasive and instrumented spine surgery, modern treatment methods, and practical clinical aspects. The event will be interesting and valuable for traumatologists, neurosurgeons, and other related specialists.
