Invitation

Dear Colleagues,


We have planned the XIV International Turkish Spine Congress as a virtual meeting between October 6-9, 2021. However, we received many feed-back from our participants to organize the congress face-to-face.


The Board of Turkish Spine Society and the Congress Organizing Committee carefully evaluated those feedbacks. From our colleagues and the industry and considered that the online congress would not meet both scientific and social expectations. For that reason, we decided to hold the congress as a live meeting like previous years.


One of our congress co-chairs, our dear friend Prof. Dr. We lost Kadir Kotil very recently, at a very early age. Our pain is endless and huge.


We want to share our pain, commemorate him and bring his fans together by organizing our congress in memory of our dear friend face to face at Wyndham Grand İzmir between 25 - 28 May 2022.


We will be together with spine surgeons and orthopedics at our congress. In addition, we think that we can share our experiences more efficiently in our meeting, with our colleagues from abroad who will be also contributing.


As before, we will discuss spine problems in detail with training courses, conferences, symposiums, discussion sessions, workshops, and papers. We will be discussing innovations and controversial issues in all their aspects.


The main topic of our congress will be “Aging Spine” Many elderly dealing with spine problems, from spinal problems caused by osteoporosis to degenerative deformities, will be discussing these problems. In addition to the aging spine, destructive pathologies, traumas, and childhood deformities will also be discussed. It will be a congress where high-level scientific studies will be evaluated with the participation of high-level scientists from both our country and various countries of the world.


Hope to meet in 2022 with health and safety.


Best regards,


Prof. Dr. Ömer AKÇALI
