Dr. Bryan Massoud Presents Getting Started With Endoscopic Spine Surgery at Becker's Conference, June 10

FAIR LAWN, NJ and CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Jun 2, 2011) - Bryan J. Massoud, M.D., a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, founder of Spine Centers of America and noted endoscopic spine surgery instructor, will present a session titled "Getting Started with Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Mitigating the Learning Curve and Risk" at the Becker's 9^th Annual Orthopedic, Spine and Pain Management-Driven ASC Conference. The seminar will take place on Friday, June 10, 2:40 p.m., at the Westin Michigan Ave in Chicago.

"Patients are looking for less invasive surgical options and more medical professionals are recognizing the benefits of endoscopic spine surgery, yet many back pain treatment centers are uncertain how best to add endoscopic spine surgery to their practice due to the steep learning curve associated with the procedures and the inherent financial and medical risks of adding any surgical procedures involving the spine," Dr. Massoud stated. "I'll be discussing various aspects for medical professionals and administrators to consider when adding endoscopic spine surgery, as well as strategies and best practices to employ to promote successful business and clinical outcomes."

Spine Centers of America will exhibit in booth # 44 at the Becker's Conference, June 9-11, 2011 at The Westin Michigan Avenue, 909 North Michigan, Chicago.

Endoscopic Surgery Training

Dr. Massoud, one of the most experienced endoscopic spine surgeons in the country, has just wrapped up the Spring 2011 series of workshops, sponsored by Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp, in which he teaches physicians how to perform endoscopic spine surgery techniques. His latest workshop on lumbar endoscopic discectomy was May 7 at the Advanced Spine Surgery Center in Union, NJ. Workshops will resume in Fall 2011. Dr. Massoud also offers training opportunities for surgeons at Spine Centers of America. Physicians interested in participating may contact seminars@SpineCentersOfAmerica.com or visit www.SpineCentersOfAmerica.com.

Endoscopic spine surgical procedures have been proven effective over the past 15 years and are quickly becoming the preferred treatment for many patients because they use a small incision which avoids damaging muscles and the surrounding tissues, and avoids the use of general anesthesia, resulting in much shorter recovery times than traditional open back surgery procedures.
