The Centres of Excellence in Neurosciences and Orthopaedics at Aster Medcity take
great pleasure in welcoming you to a one-day symposium on Cranio-Vertebral
Junction at Aster Medcity on 14 February 2015.
Surgical treatment of the CV junction is a potential minefield and is considered the
Holy Grail of spine surgery by many. Aimed at providing real value to participants, this
comprehensive learning programme for spine surgeons will focus on all aspects of
surgical management of CV junction disorders including anatomy, clinically relevant
radiology, advanced CV junction surgery and complication avoidance. One of the
unique aspects of the programme is the BYOC (Bring Your Own Case) session and
audience participation in solving complex cases.
The symposium will have an esteemed panel of national and international faculty,
including Dr. Roy Thomas Daniel, Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Lausanne,
Switzerland.
A unique, enriching learning experience for all participants, we hope to promote
better understanding on how to make CV junction surgery safer and simpler.
