ESPINEA® - Endoscopic Spine Academy
ESPINEA® was founded by Wolfgang Ries in Karlsruhe, Germany in 2019. The overriding goal of ESPINEA® and its Academy is to support professionals in providing the highest standard of patient care. To accomplish this mission, the globally-acting ESPINEA® Endoscopic Spine Academy offers a specially tailored training and education program for spine surgeons.
→ Using the endoscopic systems from our supporter, joimax® GmbH, we are set up to provide an open academic platform for interested spine physicians all over the world to discover and be educated in new spinal therapy concepts focused in the field of minimally invasive, preferable endoscopic spinal therapy.
→ ESPINEA® training standards and skill levels are CLEARLY defined and is provided for beginning endoscopic spine surgeons, as well as for those with existing experience to deepen and extend knowledge and expertise. In addition, the entire surgical team will be trained and will benefit from the program as well.
We have created the Endoscopic Spine Academy ESPINEA® with the accreditation of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in the belief that education can best help our customers and surgery teams worldwide to grow in minimally-invasive endoscopic spinal care and to gain maximum value from the technology in which they have invested.
