Indore Takes Centre Stage In Advanced Spine Surgery Training At EndospineCon 2026

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) has become a prominent destination for advanced medical training, as evidenced by the recent EndospineCon 2026 held at the IRCADE-India Centre at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences (SAIMS). Over 100 delegates from India and abroad convened to participate in the conference, which focused on the theme "From Learning Curve to Global Excellence."

The event was organized by the Indore Spinal Welfare Society and the Indore Spine Surgeons Association, bringing together leading spine surgeons and experts to discuss cutting-edge advancements in endoscopic spine surgery.

A key feature of the conference was a hands-on cadaveric workshop that offered surgeons practical training in endoscopic spine surgery techniques. Participants learned about surgical approaches, technical nuances, and potential challenges, enabling them to better prepare for the operating theatre. Dr Vinod Bhandari, SAIMS founder-chairman, highlighted the conference as a significant step towards establishing Indore as a smart medical hub equipped for modern healthcare.

He noted that such advanced cadaveric training facilities were previously scarce outside a few metropolitan cities.

Abhishek Pal, IRCADE-India general manager, emphasized that the centre is the sole IRCADE facility in South Asia providing convenient access to hands-on cadaveric training. Dr Prasad Patgaonkar, organizing secretary, explained that the workshop helped surgeons gain a deeper understanding of complex procedural challenges and enhance their surgical preparedness.

The SAIMS management expressed plans to organize more advanced medical training programmes and introduce additional facilities aimed at improving healthcare delivery while alleviating the financial and logistical burdens on patients and their families.
