In this Wetlab, residents practice spinal instrumentation techniques on real specimens, focusing on pedicle screw and rod fixation under expert supervision from leading spine surgeons from Balgrist University Hospital. Working with real tissue allows for a deeper understanding of anatomy, while refining the skills needed for successful spine surgery.
To support preparation, all participants gain access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. With photorealistic 3D models and an AI-powered learning engine, the platform helps deepen anatomical knowledge and track progress before the hands-on sessions.
