Korean Spinal Neurosurgery Society

Korean Spinal Neurosurgery Society (KSNS) was established in 1987 and has developed from 58 dedicated members to over 1800 (2017). The purpose of KSNS is to improve clinical and basic research of spinal neurosurgery and to promote academic communication and social intimacy between members. In line with increasing subspecialization in spine surgery, six research societies have been established under the umbrella of the KSNS. Korean Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Society (2002), Korean Cervical Spine Research Society (2007), Korean Spinal Deformity Society (2009), Korean Spine Research Society (2010), Korean Spinal Osteoporosis Society (2014) and Korean Spine Oncology Research Society (2014) continue academic development in parallel with KSNS. As part of this mission, KSNS publishes the Neurospine (official J of KSNS) and holds an Annual Academic Meeting as well as Training Seminar.

ASIA SPINE

ASIA SPINE is academic society meeting representing medical and surgical science research achievements in spine, spinal cord and peripheral nerves from spine surgeons in Asian countries. Initially, the former conference of ASIA SPINE was a friendship exchange meeting between Japan and Korea in the form of a biennial meeting of the Japan-Korea Conference on Spinal Surgery (JKCSS) since 1997. Then, the first ASIA SPINE Conference was held in Incheon, Korea, Sep 9-11, 2010, with the region of participation expanded to East Asia. After having annual meeting each year, the ASIA SPINE has now developed into an outstanding Spine Society that can be comparable with those in North America and Europe beyond Asia. This is the result of vigorous academic exchanges and friendship of all members of the ASIA SPINE. The 10th Annual Meeting of the ASIA SPINE will be held in Seoul Dragon City, Seoul, Korea, Sep 19–21, 2019, with the catch phrase "Neurospine Connected" in honor of the launching of Neurospine, the official international journal of ASIA SPINE, and as a Joint Meeting with the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Korean Spinal Neurosurgery Society. It is expected that ASIA SPINE will become a dignified society that will encompass all of the spine specialists in Asia in the near future, and have continued success and the ability to promote prolonged international friendship among the Asian countries.

Taiwan Neurosurgical Spine Society (TNSS) was first established in 2001 as the Taiwan Neurospinal Society, and changed to TNSS in 2013, although its name in the official language of Taiwan has always remained. The vision of TNSS is to unite all professional spine surgeons into a driving force for all surgical issues of the spine in Taiwan, including education, research, cooperation, academics, and communication throughout the world regarding spine care. TNSS has become one of the most popular academic societies of surgery in Taiwan, which is composed of more than 500 domestic members. Since 2010, TNSS has been enthusiastically involved in hosting the ASIA spine meetings, held variously among societies from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. Since 2017, TNSS has become one of the three official supporting societies for the prestigious journal “Neurospine”, extensively contributing to the spine literature. Neurosurgeons in TNSS, who are interested in spine care, have more actively participated in educational seminars, academic publications, and scientific and international communication for more than a decade. The TNSS looks forward to extending friendship with international colleagues and in collaborating in future successes in our profession.

WHO Emergency and Essential Surgical Care

The WHO Program for Emergency and Essential Surgical Care (EESC) is dedicated to strengthening health systems by improving access to safe, timely and affordable surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia care, to optimize health outcomes. The program was established to take the lead in efforts to reduce the global burden of surgery-related diseases resulting from injuries, pregnancy-related complications, communicable and non-communicable diseases, and disasters and humanitarian crises, which still too often lead to premature death and disability. The mission of EESC is to create a global shift in how surgical, obstetric and anaesthetic services are delivered and funded, urge all stakeholders to offer basic, quality surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia care as a component of universal health coverage in line with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and promote investment in human and physical resources for surgical, obstetric and anaesthesia care to drive economic growth and reduce all preventable deaths and disabilities. This is only possible with strong collaborative partnerships with global multidisciplinary entities and internal partners. According to this mission, EESC would like to strongly support the development and adoption of evidence-based policies and plans to strengthen surgical services.

The SpineWeek

Dear Colleagues,

The idea to have a joint meeting bringing together several spine societies at the same time and at the same place originated around the turn of the century. The SpineWeek committee was mandated with the practical organisation of such a conference, and this led to the first SpineWeek meeting which was held in Porto, Portugal in 2004. It was well received by individual participants, the involved scientific spine societies and by the supporting MedTech industry. Three more SpineWeeks followed: Geneva (Switzerland) in 2008, Amsterdam (The Netherlands) in 2012 and Singapore in 2016. One of the remarkable evolutions noted from one SpineWeek to the next, was the increase of participants coming from Asia. This incited the SpineWeek committee to move east for the 2020 SpineWeek meeting, and we are pleased to announce the meeting in Melbourne on 27 April – 1 May 2020. Next to the usual participating spine societies such as the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS), the North American Spine Society (NASS) and the Association of Spine Surgeons of India (ASSI), we now welcome other societies. In particular the Asia Pacific Spine Society (APSS), the Japanese Society for Spine Surgery and Related Research, the Korean Spinal Neurosurgery Society (KSNS), the Korean Society of Spine Surgery (KSS), the Spine Society of Australia (SSA) and the BioSpine-AP symposium. SpineWeek meetings have been at the origin of many a scientific collaboration bringing together clinicians and scientists from around the world and from very different scientific societies. We look forward to a truly exciting week in Melbourne, both at a scientific and a social level. Join us for this first Oceanian SpineWeek meeting and spread the word!
