About this event

The AIIMS Annual Spine Workshop (AASW) is a premier academic event organized by the Department of Neurosurgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, India. This workshop serves as an immersive and comprehensive learning platform aimed at enhancing education and skill development in modern spine surgery. It emphasizes a 360-degree educational approach, which integrates didactic lectures, simulation-based learning, cadaveric dissection, and live operative demonstrations. The core aim of the workshop is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and surgical execution, providing structured hands-on exposure to contemporary spinal techniques with a strong focus on minimally invasive spine surgery, advanced endoscopic procedures, and spinal deformity correction, while promoting evidence-based decision-making in complex spinal disorders.AASW-2026 will feature world-renowned national and international faculty who will share their expertise through interactive lectures and hands-on training sessions. The workshop will particularly focus on Unilateral Bi-portal Endoscopic (UBE) Spine Surgery and Scoliosis/Spinal Deformity Surgery, aligning with the central theme of 'Advancing Excellence in Modern Spine Surgery.' Participants will engage in deep dives into advanced surgical techniques, covering strategies, imaging, alignment planning, and novel minimally invasive solutions. The program will also address indications, outcomes, instrumentation, and integration with navigation and robotics. To facilitate a rich learning experience, the JL Auditorium at AIIMS, equipped with modern audiovisual facilities and a spacious seating arrangement, provides an ideal environment for scientific deliberations and live academic interactions. The AIIMS campus, located in the heart of New Delhi, offers excellent connectivity, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience for all attendees.
