ISASS provides the missing link in spine surgery. The society has developed a unique platform for spinal surgeons, innovative scientists, and industry, all having the goal of improving todayâs treatment options and patient outcomes. Innovation is needed, but the great ideas meet many obstructions before clinical implementation. Letâs learn from each other at ISASS. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Move on and become an ISASS member.
Thank you! It was a great meeting! This meeting was the way NASS used to be in the 1990s.

Nascent SurgicalMy impressions were strongly positive. Very high scientific level and lots of opportunities to learn. I appreciated also the international outreach of the society compared with other spine societies. It looks there is a chance for non US surgeons to come forward and share their spine work.

HOI OrthopedicsThe ISASS Annual Meeting was a fantastic educational and networking experience. The focus on spine surgery and outcomes in an intimate collaborative setting is a great value.
Charlie Branch, Professor and Chair, Neurosurgery
Wake Forest Baptist Health SystemMost patients go to their âspine docâ for pain alleviation... not neuro deficit, not deformity, not instability. If we fail to steward and oversee the entire field of spine then we will become dinosaurs like some other specialties have become. The issue of untrained practitioners treating without training will grow... this underlines the importance of ISASS for spine surgeons by surgeons.
Morgan Lorio, MD, Spine Surgeon, Neuro Spine Solutions
Neuro Spine SolutionsI was really pleased with the ISASS annual meeting. It was focussed, with good topics and wide geographic representation; very interesting. The society has great momentum.
