Welcome Message
It is my great honor and pleasure to announce that the 8th International Society for Minimal Intervention in Spinal Surgery (ISMISS) will be held in conjunction with the 18th MISS Summit Forum on March 6–7, 2026, at Aichi Spine Hospital in Inuyama, Aichi, Japan.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has rapidly evolved over the past decades, with innovations in techniques and technology significantly expanding its clinical applications. This joint forum serves as a valuable opportunity for spine surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the world to exchange the latest knowledge, share practical experiences, and discuss the future of spinal care.
This year's combined meeting will welcome distinguished speakers from Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The program will cover a wide range of essential topics, including endoscopic spine surgery, navigation and robotic-assisted procedures, digital health integration, and other cutting-edge developments that are shaping the next generation of MISS.
We are confident that this forum will contribute to advancing the field of spinal surgery and strengthening global collaboration in MISS. We warmly invite you to join us in Inuyama for this exciting and meaningful event.
Sincerely,
Chairman, MISS Summit Forum
Zenya Ito
(Director, Aichi Spine Hospital)
