The summer intensive course focuses on minimally invasive microsurgical techniques performed using the microscope and tubular retractors. An exciting extension of the world-famous NYC-MISS course held every December, this Summer Master Class provides intensive, in-depth training in tubular spine surgery featuring advanced VR technology. Using state-of-the-art RealSpine training models, and taught by leaders in MISS surgery, the course offers hands-on learning in the high-tech Weill Cornell Medicine Neurosurgical Innovations and Training Center. This innovative course, with training in minimally invasive tubular surgery and virtual reality, is a rare opportunity to learn technically demanding techniques from world leaders.
The NYC-MISS 2025 Summer Master Class, held August 15–16 at Weill Cornell Medicine, offers hands-on minimally invasive spine training and partners this year with the Seattle Science Foundation.
