From May 27th to June 1st, Dr. Daniel Rosenthal, an internationally renowned spine master, visited the Wuhan Orthopedics Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (The Affiliated Hospital of Wuhan Sports University) for a week as a visiting professor. Dr. Rosenthal was born in Argentina and finished his medical studies there, and then moved to Germany to start his legendary medical career. He is the world-class master in thoracoscopic spine surgery, he holds several patents for endoscopic instruments, he has performed surgeries for many heads of state and government officials, he has simple but insightful understanding about spine surgery, he is rigorous in medical field but humorous in life, he speaks four languages, and he has traveled around the world to give lectures... This visit to the Wuhan Orthopedics Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (The Affiliated Hospital of Wuhan Sports University) is a great opportunity to rekindle friendship with Chinese colleagues and to exchange ideas and insights. During the one-week visit, Dr. Rosenthal had participated in a series of academic exchange activities with the company of President LI Xugui, Secretary of the Party Committee WANG Jing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission ZHU Yaoqing, Member of the Party Committee, Vice President XIE Wei, as well as the directors of four spine surgery departments and their colleagues, including expert outpatient consultation, ward rounds, complex case discussion, surgical guidance, the Training Course of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Techniques of the Sino-German Training Center for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, the Sino-German Global Webcast on Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, master’s public lecture, seminar about spine specialist training and scientific research experience sharing. During the visit, Dr. Rosenthal showed great interest in the hospital's concept of “integration of medical treatment, medical care and rehabilitation” and understood deeply the hospital's rich clinical experience in combining orthopaedic treatment and rehabilitation during the week's work; He also observed the hospital's distinctive therapies, “Sacral Injection Therapy”, and the “Precision Small Needle Therapy” which was selected as the representative program of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hongshan District. If the therapeutic effect can be long-lasting, Dr. Rosenthal said that he would be interested in learning this technique and bringing it back to Europe when he visits Wuhan again in the future. At the same time, the arrival of Dr. Rosenthal also injected new vitality into the hospital. He shared his experience on the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic disc herniation, the tricks and surgical steps of anterior surgery/OLIF, the introduction of the VITOM imaging system, the German experience on training spine specialists, and his personal understanding about the future trend of spine surgery and scientific research experience, and so on. The result of this all-round academic exchange was very successful, not only deepening the friendship between the colleagues from China and Germany, but also deepening their understanding of spine surgery, promoting the construction and development of spine surgery, and enriching the atmosphere of academic exchange in the hospital, which ultimately brings benefits to the patients.
