The Global Spine Congress (GSC) 2024 in Bangkok
Sessions Spotlight
From workshops and pre-courses, oral and e-poster presentations, theater sessions, and rapid-fire sessions, the GSC 2025 program schedule is packed with learning opportunities.
If you are attending GSC in Rio, here are just a few sessions we recommend you consider adding to your personal agenda:
Title: AO Spine Knowledge Forum Spinal Cord Injury - Personalized medicine for degenerative cervical myelopathy
This symposium will highlight advances in the care of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and the use of personalized medicine approaches to improve clinical decision making for DCM. The speakers will discuss novel techniques to improve our assessment and stratification of patients before surgery. We will also discuss methods to provide individual prognostic scores for recovery of function. We will also explore global perspectives on management of DCM.
Moderators: Aditya Vedantam, Jefferson Wilson
Invited speakers: Ben Davies, S Rajasekaran, Aditya Vedantam, Michael Fehlings, Jeff Wilson, Allan Martin
Title: Symposium hosted by the AO Technical Commission: Growth Modulation and Emerging Technologies for the Growing Scoliotic Spine
A one-hour symposium will highlight current and emerging technologies to manage children afflicted by early onset scoliosis and immature adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. International faculty with expose how altered spinal growth and deformity impacts lung development and function. Clinical cases and short didactic take home messages will illustrate:
i) surgical indications;
ii) tips and pearls of surgical techniques;
iii) clinical outcomes of anterior spinal tether for AIS and posteriorly based guided growth with magnetically distracted growth and the self-growing construct of the Modern Luque Trolley.
Moderators: C.C. Wong
Invited speakers: Prof. A. Dimeglio, Dr F. Miyanji, Prof. K. Cheung, and Dr J. Ouellet
Title: AO Spine Knowledge Forum Tumor – Matching the Surgical Strategy to the Patient
KF Tumor has generated new knowledge focusing on the assessment and management strategies for patients with primary and metastatic spinal tumors. We would like to present the classic and evolving concepts in spine tumor patient assessment and apply them to real-world scenarios using a case-based approach. An AO Spine member survey revealed that many clinicians have questions about the optimal timing of surgery in relation to adjuvant therapy and prevention of neurologic deficits, tailoring the surgical invasiveness to the specific patient comorbidity profile, dosing and duration of glucocorticoid administration. The case discussion will address these challenging questions.
Moderators: Álvaro Silva González, Ilya Laufer
Invited Speakers: Daniel Lubelski, Brian Coimbra, Michael Galgano, Ori Barzilai, Raphaéle Charest-Morin, Sheng-Fu Larry Lo, Aron Lazáry/Riccardo Cecchinato, Cordula Netzer/ Joost Rutges
