This week we achieved a new milestone at Inova by performing our first-ever endoscopic spine surgery – a groundbreaking step that brings ultra minimally invasive spine care to the DC Metropolitan Area and Northern Virginia. This advanced technique means smaller incisions, less pain and quicker recovery. Our expert spine team at Inova continues to lead the way with cutting-edge technology to help our patients get back to life faster and stronger.

Yesterday, we had our first Inova neurosurgery boot camp for our incoming interns. We discussed a wide range of topics including mental health and wellness, emotional intelligence and financial wellbeing. We also held a cranial and spine cadaver lab to make sure our two incoming residents hit the ground running
