On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committees, it is our pleasure to invite you to join us for the 3rd Saudi Spine Society Annual Conference which will be held on November 16-18, 2019 in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

Through continuous innovations in medical science and technology, Surgical and Non-Surgical Spine interventions have advanced into an even broader variety, giving spine care practitioners a wider range of options for intervention and treatment through invasive and non-invasive management processes.

With our usual theme of SSS Annual Conference “Promoting Excellence in Multidisciplinary Spine Care”. We will bring to mind seeking out guidance-in- controversy and wisdom in-judgment when deciding for our clinical challenges, the promotion of team-based medicine and joint contributions to patient welfare. Multidisciplinary approach optimizes our practice as we retool spine care for the twenty-first century.

Our Scientific Sessions will explore various aspects of pathologies affecting the spine, leading researchers for academia, industry and hospitals will present their recent achievements in technologies and clinical studies discussing their most exciting development. The program will consist of plenary lectures by top national and international spine surgeons and oral presentations in parallel sessions featuring speakers from Saudi Arabia and abroad.

These workshops will address different aspects of spine care including spine surgery, rehabilitation, pain management, radiology, neurophysiology, nursing, and more. This will be a great opportunity in advancing our knowledge and practice in the constantly changing field of spine care.
