Highlights from Global Spine Congress 2026: Spine Surgery Education, Clinical Evidence, and Surgeon Perspectives
Fziomed was pleased to participate in the Global Spine Congress (GSC) held in Istanbul, Turkey from May 27–30, 2026.
The Global Spine Congress is one of the world’s leading meetings dedicated to spine care, bringing together surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the globe to share clinical research, surgical techniques, and innovations aimed at improving patient outcomes.
On Friday, May 29, Fziomed sponsored an Industry Course Lecture titled Reducing Postoperative Pain: Technology, Evidence, and Surgical Experience. We were honored to have Dr. Jeffrey C. Wang (Los Angeles, USA) and Dr. Paul M. Arnold (Chicago, USA) as faculty presenters.
The course attracted significant interest from attendees seeking insights into postoperative pain management, clinical outcomes, and emerging technologies used in spine surgery. The discussion focused on evidence-based approaches that may help support patient recovery and improve long-term outcomes.
Presenting to a standing-room-only audience, Dr. Wang and Dr. Arnold reviewed the role of Oxiplex in reducing postoperative pain following lumbar spine surgery, discussed the Level I clinical evidence supporting its use, and shared real-world surgical cases highlighting Oxiplex use in practice. They also emphasized the importance of critically evaluating clinical evidence when selecting technologies for spine procedures and shared perspectives based on their extensive experience treating patients with lumbar spine conditions.
Both presenters did a masterful job communicating the clinical need for Oxiplex, the unique mode of action, and the clinical evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness in lumbar spine surgery. The session concluded with a robust question & answer session where many attendees asked insightful questions.
Events such as GSC provide valuable opportunities for spine specialists to exchange knowledge, review emerging research, and discuss practical considerations that may influence surgical decision-making and patient care. Fziomed is proud to support educational initiatives that foster collaboration and clinical advancement within the global spine community.
