Houston Methodist Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Symposium: Endoscopic Techniques 2026 — nine technique talks
Houston Methodist Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Symposium: Endoscopic Techniques 2026 (29–30 May 2026) distils endoscopic spine surgery into nine short, technique-driven lectures lasting about 2 hours 37 minutes. Faculty move level by level — lumbar interlaminar and transforaminal work, thoracic discectomy with docking anatomy, cervical stenosis and posterior foraminotomy — and cover operating ergonomics and endoscopic repair of spontaneous CSF leaks.

What you’ll be able to do
- Compare interlaminar and transforaminal routes to the lumbar disc
- Plan thoracic endoscopic discectomy, from docking to key anatomy
- Apply endoscopy to cervical stenosis, myelopathy and foraminal decompression
- Set up an ergonomic endoscopic workflow and sidestep common pitfalls
- Understand endoscopic management of spontaneous CSF leaks
Inside the symposium
Lumbar endoscopy
Three talks cover interlaminar discectomy, transforaminal access and a broader view of endoscopic lumbar disc surgery, including patient and pathology selection.
Thoracic and cervical levels
Thoracic discectomy is taught twice — technique, then docking and anatomy — while cervical sessions handle stenosis with myelopathy and posterior foraminotomy.
Houston Methodist endoscopic spine essentials
A dedicated ergonomics lecture and a talk on sealing spontaneous CSF leaks complete the programme.
