This past week, MGB Neurosurgery faculty Dr. Lu and Dr. Zaidi presented at The First Annual Global Congress of Neurosurgical Legends & Leaders, hosted by the Global Neurosurgical Student Council.
Their presentations highlighted key principles in spine surgery, including “When Not to Operate: Clinical Wisdom” and “Precision, Discipline, and Surgical Movement Tactics in Complex Spine Surgery.”
We are proud to see our team contributing to global neurosurgical education and advancing thoughtful, patient-centered care.

At the 1st MGB Spine Symposium, two of our spine surgeons, Dr. Hasan Zaidi and Dr. Yi Lu, moderated the second Scientific Session: Spine Deformity Session. During the Spine Deformity Session, many insightful topics were touched on, including "How do we solve the Adjacent Level Problem in spine surgery? (including PJK and Adjacent Segment Disease)", "Strategies for Providing a Strong Foundation for Long Constructs in deformity surgery - Best ways to protect and stabilize the base of a construct (SI joint during deformity correction, triple/quad rods)", and "Deformity Corrections - PSO or Expandable Cages versus ALL release." #MGBSpineSymposium #SpineSurgery #MGBNeurosurgery
At #AANS2025, we honored a century of brilliance in neurosurgery.
