Dr. Kern Singh, MD, a leading figure in minimally invasive spine surgery, recently hosted eight spine surgeons at Rush University Medical Center for an advanced training program in biportal endoscopic spine surgery.

Advancing Minimally Invasive Spine Care

Biportal endoscopic spine surgery is revolutionizing spinal care by offering a less invasive alternative to traditional techniques. Using two small incisions and a high-definition camera system, surgeons can treat spinal conditions with greater precision and minimal tissue disruption—leading to faster recovery and improved outcomes.

Dr. Singh, one of the few U.S. surgeons performing biportal procedures regularly, led the multi-day workshop featuring:

• Live surgical demonstrations
• Hands-on cadaver labs
• Interactive lectures and case discussions

Global Collaboration and Innovation

The visiting surgeons—each a leader in their respective countries—gained firsthand experience with the technique under Dr. Singh’s expert guidance. The training emphasized both technical mastery and patient-centered care, showcasing how biportal endoscopy can effectively treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and facet joint disease.

Shaping the Future of Spine Surgery

This event highlights Dr. Singh’s commitment to global education and innovation. By sharing his expertise, he is helping elevate surgical standards worldwide and expand access to advanced spinal care.

As demand for minimally invasive solutions grows, Dr. Singh continues to lead the way—transforming spine surgery through education, collaboration, and cutting-edge techniques.
