The spinal team at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, UK, have successfully undertaken their first endoscopic transforaminal surgery. Miss Nathalie Zaidman led the surgery under the watchful eye of Dr Sanjay Harhangi (Park Medisch Centrum, The Netherlands) and the support of Venturis Medical. Looking forward to more success using this safe, effective and exciting technology.
