MINNEAPOLIS, July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avicenna Technical University
(ATU), in collaboration with Inspired Spine, has announced the
establishment of the Kambin Society, a new initiative dedicated to
honoring the legacy of Dr. Parviz Kambin, a trailblazing figure in
the field of spine surgery.
Dr. Parviz Kambin, born in Tehran,
Iran in 1931, transformed the landscape of spine surgery
with his discovery of the Kambin triangle. This anatomical
structure has provided surgeons with a critical access point to the
spine and disc space, significantly reducing the risk of damaging
major nerves or vessels during procedures. Dr. Kambin's innovative
techniques in minimally invasive spine surgery have made a profound
impact on the field.
After earning his medical degree from Tehran University Faculty
of Medicine, Dr. Kambin expanded his expertise in orthopedics with
further training in Pennsylvania,
United States. His dedication to
patient care, professional excellence, and warmth has left an
indelible mark on the medical community.
"The Kambin Society is committed to advancing the field of
minimally invasive spine surgery and perpetuating the
groundbreaking work of Dr. Kambin," stated Dr. Hamid Abbasi, Chair of Kambin Society. "Together
with national and international surgeons, our goal is to promote,
train, and research innovative approaches to spine surgery that
minimize invasiveness of spine surgery and disruption to patient's
lives."
The Kambin Society has already garnered significant national and
international interest. The inaugural online conference is
scheduled for September 14, 2024,
from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Central
Standard Time. The conference will feature an international
faculty exploring various aspects of the Kambin triangle's utility
in minimally invasive spine surgery.
The session will commence with Dr. Amir
Sharif and Dr. Farnad Imani offering a historical overview
of Dr. Kambin's work and the evolution of spine surgery in
Iran. Following this, Dr. Choll
Kim will delve into the history of trans-Kambin endoscopy. Dr.
Gary Shell will discuss the
historical significance of trans-Kambin fusion or Oblique
Lateral-posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLLIF), a technique he
pioneered.
Additional experts, including Dr. Varun
Agarwal, Dr. Jamie Gasco, Dr.
Betsy Grunch, Dr. Nikola Hazen, Dr. Ajay
Krishnan, Dr. Niraj Vasavada,
and Dr. Muhammad Abd-El-Barr, will
share their insights on the Kambin triangle's application. The
conference will conclude with a presentation on the use of
artificial intelligence in spine surgery, a field of study being
advanced at Avicenna Technical University.
