2024年10月14日至10月18日，德國慕尼黑哈拉興骨科醫(yī)院脊柱中心主任、歐洲脊柱學會秘書長Siepe教授作為國際客座教授到訪廣東省中醫(yī)院骨傷科專科醫(yī)院脊柱微創(chuàng)科，與骨傷科?？漆t(yī)院副院長陳博來教授及其團隊共同開展為期一周的客座教授活動。Siepe教授作為世界著名的脊柱內(nèi)鏡技術專家，每年完成超過300臺脊柱外科手術，并活躍于世界各地的脊柱外科學術會議。廣東省中醫(yī)院骨傷科?？漆t(yī)院脊柱微創(chuàng)科團隊是全中國較早開展全內(nèi)鏡下頸椎、腰椎融合手術的單位之一，并借助先進的手術機器人、術中導航等輔助高難度脊柱手術。本次交流涵蓋了脊柱外科的前沿技術、臨床診療和手術經(jīng)驗分享，為中德脊柱外科領域的深度合作奠定了基礎。Siepe教授在本周內(nèi)觀摩了廣東省中醫(yī)院脊柱微創(chuàng)科團隊的多臺手術，對他們在腰椎椎管內(nèi)麻醉下進行腰椎減壓手術表示高度評價。他認為這種方法能有效縮短術后恢復時間，提升手術效率，并希望能將理念帶回德國在他的科室試用。隨后的多臺手術觀摩中，Siepe教授也對脊柱微創(chuàng)科蘇國義主任精準的手術技術贊嘆不已，并對術中創(chuàng)新技術進行了深入探討。此外，Siepe教授還進行了多場專題講座，運用大量病例分析、術中影像，向中國同道深入介紹脊柱前路手術和內(nèi)鏡技術，以及如何通過術前規(guī)劃和術中精細操作來應對術中挑戰(zhàn)，與中國同道進行了全面的學術交流，進一步促進了中德脊柱外科的共同發(fā)展。此次交流活動不僅使廣東省中醫(yī)院的脊柱外科團隊在手術技術與理念上有了新的突破，也為Siepe教授帶來了新思路。在10月18日的學術沙龍結束之際，Siepe教授表示，雖然這已經(jīng)是他第三次來訪廣東省中醫(yī)院，但此次收獲尤其豐富。通過這次交流，中德雙方在脊柱外科領域的合作將更加緊密，為未來進一步的技術合作與人才培養(yǎng)奠定了堅實的基礎。

From October 14th to October 18th, 2024, Prof. Siepe, Head of the Spine Center of Sch?n Klinik München Harlaching, Germany, and the Secretary General of EUROSPINE, visited the Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) Department of the Orthopedics Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and carried out a one-week visiting professor activity with Vice President CHEN Bolai of the Orthopedics Hospital and his team.As a world-class endoscopic spine surgery expert, Prof. Siepe performs over 300 spine surgeries annually, and is active in spine surgery academic conferences all over the world.The MISS Department of the Orthopedics Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of TCM is one of the first in China to develop endoscopic cervical and lumbar spine fusion surgeries.They also make use of advanced technologies, such as surgical robots and intraoperative navigation, to assist challenging spine surgeries.This exchange covered cutting-edge techniques, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and surgical experience of spine surgery, laying foundation for in-depth cooperation in spine surgery between China and Germany.During the week, Prof. Siepe observed several surgeries of the MISS Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of TCM, and thought highly of the lumbar anaesthesia which is used in lumbar decompression surgeries.He considered that this can effectively shorten the recovery time and improve the efficiency of surgeries, and would like to bring this concept back to Germany and try it in his department.In the following surgery observations, Prof. Siepe also spoke highly of the precise surgical techniques of Director SU Guoyi of the MISS Department, and had thorough discussions on the innovative intraoperative techniques with him.Meanwhile, Prof. Siepe gave several lectures with a large number of cases, intraoperative images and videos, further introducing anterior spine surgery, endoscopic techniques, and how to deal with challenges in surgeries by pre-op planning and precise operations.Prof. Siepe had a comprehensive academic exchanges with the Chinese colleagues, further promoting the mutual development of Sino-German spine surgery.This exchange activity not only brought new breakthroughs in surgical skills and concepts to the MISS Department of the hospital, but also inspired new ideas for Prof. Siepe.At the end of the academic salon on October 18th, Prof. Siepe said that although this was his third visit to Guangdong Provincial Hospital of TCM, it was particularly rewarding this time.With this exchange activity, Sino-German cooperation in spine surgery field will become closer, laying a solid foundation for further technical cooperation and talent training in the future.
