Hi everyone,
I believe that minimally invasive endoscopic procedures will be the future of spine surgery. Currently there is no board accreditation for these types of procedures. This being the case, I am hoping that pain interventionalists and interventional spine specialists will have the priveledge/opportunity to learn these types of procedures. I highly encourage anyone interested in advancing the practice of interventional spine to check out this website www.microspine.com . I believe this could begin the paradigm shift toward more minimally invasive procedures. However, it would be very unfortunate if neurosurgeons and orthopaedists were the only physicians allowed to perform these procedures. There is the consideration that it is still surgery regardless if it is less invasive. That being said surgeons may be the only practitioners allowed to get in on this. Hopefully, physicians like algos and other members of the ASIS will strive to develop avenues and relationships for this new evolution in minimally invasive spine care. If interventional cardiologist can stick stents into coronary arteries then interventional spine specialists should be allowed the opportunity to do this sort of minimally invasive spine surgery
