NSSA President 2023-2024
Dear Members,
I am deeply honoured and grateful for the trust you have placed in me by electing me as your president. It is with great enthusiasm that I step into this role, committed to advancing our shared mission.
The future of spinal surgery is poised for remarkable advancements, with a continued shift toward minimally invasive and personalized approaches. Helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and ultimately improve their quality of life has been incredibly fulfilling for all of us.
NSSA is now an internationally acclaimed society of health professionals dedicated to the cause of Neurospine surgery. This success is a testament to the interest, participation, and loyalty of our members, which are our most important assets.
Together with the executive committee members, we are planning to take significant steps to further develop our association. We are trying to collaborate with international spine societies to provide fellowship opportunities for our students and young surgeons to learn new skills and integrate the latest technology in spine surgery.
I believe that using image recognition-based calculators that allow surgeons to perform their own planning is more valuable than relying on closed systems that produce pre-bent rods based on engineers’ decisions. This approach will empower us to deliver better outcomes for our patients.
In conclusion, I am committed to doing my utmost to lead our association towards greater achievements. Thank you once again for your trust and support.
Warm regards,
Dr Manas Panigrahi
President,
Neuro Spinal Surgeons Association of India
