Professor Yong-san Yong of Kyungpook National University Hospital announces the excellence of Korean endoscopic surgery at the world's largest conference of vertebrae
Professor Yong-san of neurosurgery at Kyungpook National University Hospital proved the excellence of Korean-style minimally invasive surgery at the North American Society of Spinal Surgeons (NASS), which is called the 'Dream Stage' of spinal surgeons around the world.
Kyungpook National University Hospital was officially invited to the 40th Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society (40th NASS 2025), held in Denver, USA, to demonstrate and educate bi-directional endoscopic lumbar spinal union (UBE-TLIF) to specialists from all over the world.
It is an unusual achievement that a domestic medical team was selected as the main professor at NASS' Cadaver Workshop, the world's largest conference, and passed on the surgical method. In particular, the workshop attracted explosive local attention enough to close early, demonstrating the entire process of UBE-TLIF, including ▲ pressure reduction and disk removal ▲ end plate treatment ▲ expansion cage insertion.
Professor Yong-san said, `Even in advanced medical countries such as the United States and Europe, the demand for minimally invasive surgery is increasing rapidly"It was a significant occasion to confirm that bilateral endoscopic surgery technology, which flourished in Korea, is now becoming the new standard for spinal surgery in the world."
This achievement is considered to prove once again that the clinical capacity of neurosurgery at Kyungpook National University Hospital is the best in the world. The hospital said it plans to continue expanding international education programs in the future, saying, `It is a feat that has shown that the era of teaching the world has shifted from the era of Korean medical staff to learning.'
