Attendees of NASS 2023 can look forward to the return of the popular Surgical Stadium. Introduced at last year’s Annual Meeting, the Surgical Stadium provides a new way to experience the latest surgical techniques and technology!

Top surgeons will demonstrate and discuss cutting-edge spine procedures and technologies in detail, live from the new Surgical Stadium Cadaver lab, located in the center of the exhibit hall. Seating allows for exceptional viewing of procedures and high interaction with surgeons. Attendees will be able to pose questions in real time throughout the demonstrations.

“Members have asked for more in-person technique instruction which prompted the Surgical Stadium,” said NASS President John Finkenberg, MD. “These high-tech surgical demonstrations will benefit both the new and experienced physician. Our Industry partners want to set the stage for the largest spine educational event of the year.”

The current program of Surgical Stadium demos include:
