Sino-Euro Video Conference on Spine Tumor

3月22日下午无锡市第九人民医院脊柱外科张树军主任团队特邀世界脊柱肿瘤第一人Boriani教授参加中欧脊柱肿瘤视频会议。整场国际盛宴也与国内同道进行了线上分享。无锡市第九人民医院副院长糜菁熠教授、脊柱外科主任张树军教授为大会致辞。Boriani教授现任博洛尼亚大学骨科研究生课程脊柱外科教授、是意大利博洛尼亚里佐利骨科研究所脊柱肿瘤与退行性脊柱外科前主任，原发性肿瘤的原始分期系统——WBB系统创始人。本次会议Boriani教授介绍到博洛尼亚大学是西方世界最古老的大学之一，创立于公元1088年，2023年有96,984名学生，3,382名教职人员，有2020个研究项目在大学开展；而博洛尼亚大学骨外科学院就坐落于里佐利骨科研究所——意大利第一家骨科医院。它的历史最早可追溯到公元4世纪，在1896年，由一座古老的修道院改建而成。现有344张床位，约1400名员工，每年完成15,000台骨科手术。Boriani教授的导师Campanacci教授是世界闻名科学家和骨科外科医生，是骨肿瘤方面的国际权威。他的著作《骨与软组织肿瘤》收录了自1905年来超2万骨与软组织肿瘤病例，是学习骨肿瘤的必读书籍。1984年在Campanacci教授的鼓励下，Boriani教授开始专注于脊柱肿瘤的研究和临床工作。随后，Boriani教授以《脊柱转移瘤治疗的流程图 - 用于日常实践的简易工具》为题，详细介绍了里佐利骨科研究所治疗脊柱转移瘤的流程图，并结合几例病例简单明了地讲解了如何在临床实践中运用此流程图。而后张树军主任用流利的全英文分享《UBE技术在髓外硬膜下肿瘤切除中的应用》。学术演讲完毕，中意双方全英进行热烈讨论，Boriani教授也对张主任团队在运用UBE技术治疗脊柱肿瘤的创新上表示赞扬。并且期待未来能与他优秀的团队进行更加深入的学术交流。这是江苏省首家真正意义上正式专业开展脊柱肿瘤的脊柱外科，未来脊柱肿瘤病人只需在无锡市第九人民医院脊柱外科即可接受专业临床治疗。

On the afternoon of March 22nd, the team of ZHANG Shujun, Director of the Department of Spine Surgery of Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital, invited Prof. Boriani, the world-class master on spine tumor, to participate in the Sino-Euro Video Conference on Spine Tumor and to interact with Chinese colleagues online. Prof. MI Jingyi, Vice President of Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital, and Prof. ZHANG Shujun, Director of Department of Spine Surgery, delivered welcome speeches for the conference. Prof. Boriani is Professor of Spine Surgery, Post-graduate Program of Orthopedics of the University of Bologna at Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute and Past Head of Unit of Spine Oncology and Degenerative Surgery at Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute. He is the author of original staging systems for primary tumors, well known as WBB. During the conference, Prof Boriani introduced that the University of Bologna is considered as one of the most ancient universities in the Western world, which was founded in A.D. 1088. It has 96,984 students in 2023, 3,382 members of the teaching staff and 2,020 undergoing research projects; and that the University of Bologna School of Orthopedics is located at the Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute - the first Orthopedic Italian Institution. It dates back to the 4th century AD and was rebuilt from an ancient monastery in 1896. Currently it has 344 beds, around 1,400 staff and performs 15,000 orthopaedic surgeries per year. Prof. Campanacci, the mentor of Prof. Boriani, was an outstanding scientist and orthopaedic surgeon and was an international authority on bone tumors. He collected more than 20,000 bone and soft tissue tumor cases since 1905 and documented them into a book - Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors, which is a must read for those who study bone tumors.  In 1984, with the encouragement of Prof. Campanacci, Prof. Boriani started his professional life dedicated to the research and clinical work on bone tumors of the spine. After the introduction, Prof. Boriani delivered a lecture titled “The Flow Chart for the Treatment of Spine Metastases - An easy tool for daily practice”, introducing how they treat spine metastases at Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, and explained clearly how to use this flowchart in clinical practice by showing some cases. After that, Director ZHANG Shujun shared a lecture, "UBE Technique for the Resection of Intradural Extramedullary Tumors" in English. After the academic lectures, the two sides actively discussed with each other in English, and Prof. Boriani also congratulated Director Zhang's team for their innovation in the use of UBE technique in the treatment of spine tumors. And he is looking forward to more in-depth academic exchanges with his great team in the future. This is the first Department of Spine Surgery in Jiangsu Province that truly starts providing medical treatment for patients with spinal tumors, and in the future these patients could receive professional medical treatment in the Department of Spine Surgery at Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital.
