Presented by Sociedade Brasileira de Coluna (SBC)

This session presents recent advances in spinal cord injury (SCI), addressing artificial intelligence, biomaterials, translational research, and acute clinical management while integrating basic science with clinical application. Participants will gain insights into emerging evidence, international best practices, and innovative strategies to improve patient outcomes, followed by an interactive panel discussion.

Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
- Describe recent advances in AI, biomaterials, and translational SCI research;
- Apply current evidence to acute SCI management, including surgical timing and hemodynamic care; and
- Integrate emerging innovations into evidence-based SCI practice.
