Event Details
AO Spine NA Seminar - Managing Complications: Clinically, Ethically, and Legally
Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Adverse events in spinal surgery happen. Some of these are avoidable and can be attributed to the surgical team and others are merely risks from the procedure. Whether it is preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative, surgeons need to know how to deal with these complications.
During this course, a panel of experts will cover complications from clinical, legal, ethical, and psychological perspectives. Topics will include:
• Clinical approaches to complications
• Avoiding compensable events
• Risk management
• How to prepare for the worst
• Talking with the family
This course has limited enrollment and is open to practicing orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons. The goal of this course is to discuss in a closed confidential environment the seriously adverse complication cases everyone hears about and never wants to live through.
