AOSpine Global Interactive Advanced Courses, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2009 A3 Selamat Datang to Kuala Lumpur Welcome to Kuala Lumpur Dear colleagues, On behalf of AOSpine International, we would like to welcome you to the AOSpine Global Interactive Courses, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For the first time in AOSpine history the annual International Advanced and College Courses are being held outside Davos. For one week we will combine advanced level interactive programs and a masters level college program to bring Davos to Asia. Four simultaneous Advanced Courses will feature five interactive modules covering lumbar degeneration, cervical degeneration, deformity, tumors & infections, and trauma. Participants will have the opportunity, not only to learn these important subjects from first class faculty, but also from 'hands-on' practical workshops. The highlight of the week will be the Plenary Day on Friday which will combine the Advanced and College Courses around a theme of 'The Challenge of the Aging Spine'. We have assembled a team of faculty from around the world whose goal is to share their knowledge and present you with new opportunities and new ways to treat your patients.

A4 AOSpine Global Interactive Advanced Courses, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2009 Aim of the course Lumbar degeneration module Back pain is a leading cause for taking time off work. Its cost in terms of loss of man hours and suffering is immense. Lumbar degenerative diseases form the bulk of a spine surgeon's practice. The program is designed in five sessions to provide a comprehensive overview of degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. Tumors & infections module This module is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the management of spinal tumors and infections. The first session focuses on primary vertebral tumors, the next on metastatic tumors. The third sessions is about intradural tumors. Survival and quality of life after surgery are included in this module. The last two sessions focus on spinal infections one session exclusively for tuberculosis and the last on pyogenic and other infections. Cervical degeneration module With an increasing aging population, degenerative diseases of the cervical spine have become a significant part of the workload of most spine surgeons. The emphasis of this module is on providing a comprehensive overview of the more complex problems affecting the cervical spine which confront a busy surgeon. The aim will be to present the current evidence base available to guide management. Trauma module This module is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of the common spinal trauma pattern encountered by a spine surgeon. The first two sessions focus on cervical spinal injury and the next two on thoracolumbar trauma. The final session is focused on osteoporotic fractures, which now form an increasing part of the clinical workload, given an increasingly aging population. Deformity module The key concepts of deformity classification, treatment and current controversies will be examined in this module. Adolescent, congenital and degenerative scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis are covered in separate sessions. Course description Advanced Courses Four simultaneous Advanced Courses are available each offering a combination of four modules taken from a total of five pathology areas: lumbar degeneration, cervical degeneration, deformity, tumors & infections, and trauma. Surgical cadaver workshop An optional cadaver workshop will be available for a restricted number of participants to see and perform anterior 'junctional' exposures and specialized posterior resection techniques. Daily workshops with faculty instructors using artificial bone models and audiovisual support will highlight techniques featured in each module. Additional workshops on surgical navigation and 3D imaging will also be scheduled. In the evenings there will be a choice of case discussions with faculty or professional development sessions. The highlight of the week is the Plenary Day on Friday, which will combine the Advanced and College Courses around a theme of 'The Challenge of the Aging Spine'.

C4 AOSpine Global Interactive College Course, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2009 Aim of the course This course is a unique opportunity for small group interaction with recognized opinion leader in spinal surgery. The course includes topics like spinal fractures, spinal cord injury, tumors, deformity, and low back pain. Three different topics are covered each morning and the afternoon sessions will involve either participation in live surgery (telecasts) or live tissue surgery. Course description For participants in the masters level College Course, the theme throughout the week will be Meet the Expert. Morning sessions will feature presentations by world experts discussing their specialty with the participants. Afternoon sessions will involve either participation in live surgery (telecasts) or live tissue surgery (anesthetised animals) exploring management strategies in operative complications. The highlight of the week is the Plenary Day on Friday, which will combine the Advanced and College Courses around a theme of The Challenge of the Aging Spine.

AOSpine Global Interactive College Course, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2009 C3 Selamat Datang to Kuala Lumpur Welcome to Kuala Lumpur Dear colleagues, On behalf of AOSpine International, we would like to welcome you to the AOSpine College Course, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For the first time in AOSpine history the annual International Advanced and College Courses are being held outside Davos. For one week we will combine advanced level interactive programs and a masters level college program to bring Davos to Asia. CONTENT C3 Welcome to Kuala Lumpur C4 Aim of the course C4 Course description C5 Course venue overview Scientific program: C6 Registration Monday, October 26 C7 Tuesday, October 27 C8 Wednesday, October 28 C9 Thursday, October 29 C10 Friday, October 30 The College Course is specifically designed for surgeons who already have broad experience in spine surgery. The program is divided into three main streams: first, a number of controversial topics are put up for discussion between the participants and the experts. The main aim is to let everyone understand the rationale and the current evidence for managing complex spinal disorders through thorough debate and shared experience. The chairs of each session are the real experts and will give a state-of-the-art summary of their field. Secondly, real-time surgical demonstration is the best time for the surgeons to polish their surgical skills. The participants can watch how the experts approach the spine, handle soft tissues, and avoid complications. Although the appropriate cases for the demonstration rely heavily on their availability, the organizing committee will try its best to show a wide variety of spinal surgery. Finally managing intraoperative complications is an essential part of training for a competent surgeon, but it is difficult to be simulated with a real patient. Therefore, live animals are prepared for the participants to practice how to salvage iatrogenic problems such as repairing a big-vessel laceration or repairing dura without leakage. There will be ample opportunities to exchange new ideas, techniques, and concepts not merely within the formal program, but also as you meet the experts. As such, please also bring along your interesting cases or unsolved questions for discussion. Finally, as all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy please also take some time to enjoy the pleasantries that Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur have to offer and moreover don t miss the possibility of making new friends and contacts within the AOSpine community.
