Scientific Program

Join us at the #1 Meeting in MISS!

Each year, SMISS works hard to present an Annual Forum that maintains the same high-quality, focused sessions that keep you coming back year after year—while also presenting you with the latest updates and insights in minimally invasive spine surgery. Ultimately, we want you leave the Annual Forum with a renewed commitment to excellent patient care and tips you can use immediately.

With that in mind, please take a few minutes to review the Annual Forum ’19 Preliminary Program—we think you’ll find plenty to get excited about!

Sincerely,

Christoph Hofstetter, MD
Stephen Ryu, MD
Kern Singh, MD
William Taylor, MD
