From the mountains to the sea, from Geneva to Naples, from occiput to ilium


The Course is addressed to advanced residents in Neurosurgery and Orthopedic Surgery. It will be held in two entirely different, yet equally beautiful and interesting cities, Geneva and Naples, which are linked by a long tradition of surgeons’ exchange. The Swiss efficiency and the quality will be mixed with the Italian creativity and genius for a successful event!
In Geneva, we will cover the occipito-cervical pathologies, including both arthroplasty and fusion procedures. Then we will be transferred together by plane to Naples, where we will focus on the thoraco-lumbar spine and iliac fixation.

The most advanced technologies in the field of spinal surgery, from robotics to exoscopes to modern spinal implants, will be available during the hands-on workshops at two amazing wet labs, the SFITS (Swiss Foundation for Innovation and Training) and the Centre of Biotecnologies at AORN Cardarelli Hospitals.
