🔴 Now on Youtube: IELD / IE-LRD Lecture from the EndoSpine Academy Basic Course 2026 Continuing our series from this year's Basic Course in Zurich, we move from the transforaminal to interlaminar approaches. PD Dr. Jean-Yves Fournier delivered a fantastic lecture on Interlaminar Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (IELD) as well as the Interlaminar Endoscopic Lateral Recess Decompression (IE-LRD). True to his roots, he also drew on the Valaisanne Alps to bring some well-placed humour into the room and make his key messages stick. Beyond technique, Fournier reflected on how education in spinal endoscopy has evolved over the years and offered practical guidance for young surgeons taking their first steps in the field.

🙌 EndoSpine Academy at the Qingdao Spinal Endoscopy Innovation Symposium   Advancing endoscopic spine surgery requires fruitful collaborations on an international level. This is why last week, the EndoSpine Academy co-organized the 2nd Spinal Endoscopy Innovation Symposium taking place at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in China.   The week-long symposium featured a great number of fantastic talks, discussions on the latest innovations in endoscopic spine surgery, a fruitful expert consensus meeting, professional hands-on courses and overall 9 live surgeries. Moreover, Co-Director Christoph Laux held a talk on modern concepts of surgical training. He specifically outlined the importance of structured education programs such as the CAS in Spinal Endoscopy. We express our deepest gratitude to unintech GmbH and local host Prof. Xuexiao Ma, as well as Peking University Third hospital and Guangdong Provincial hospital of Chinese Medicine for the great organization.

What do you do when things don't go as planned in the endoscopic spine OR ❓ At this year's EndoSpine Academy Basic Course in Zurich, Saqib Hasan tackled exactly that. Dural tears, intraoperative bleeding, and other complications that every endoscopic spine surgeon will eventually face. A candid, experience-driven lecture that goes beyond technique and into the realities of the learning curve.
