# Dr. Abel Ferrés interviewed about his experience at the EndoSurg Elite Camp for endoscopic spine surgery

_Dr. Abel Ferrés Pijoan shares his perspective on advanced training in endoscopic spine surgery._

The organising body of the EndoSurg Elite Camp, one of the most sought-after training initiatives for surgeons worldwide, has interviewed more than a dozen specialists who have participated in the programme. Among them, Dr. Abel Ferrés Pijoan of Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, who shares his view on the workshop and its contribution to the professional development of the spine surgeon.

## Excellence in endoscopic spine surgery training

Endoscopic spine surgery is today one of the most significant advances within [minimally invasive surgery](https://brainandspine-bcn.com/en/minimally-invasive-sports-injury-surgery-barcelona/). It allows disc herniations, stenosis and other conditions to be treated through millimetre-sized incisions, with less tissue damage, less post-operative pain and a faster recovery for the patient. Mastering this technique demands, however, a demanding learning curve and very specific hands-on training.

In this context, programmes such as the EndoSurg Elite Camp have become a reference space where surgeons from different countries practise surgical manoeuvres, share experience and refine the endoscopic approach in a controlled environment. The organisation structures the workshop around three key questions for participants:

- What makes this programme so special?
- What specific skills does the participant acquire?
- Which moments of the workshop leave the deepest impression?

## Dr. Abel Ferrés's experience

Dr. Abel Ferrés Pijoan is one of the neurosurgeons on our team with the greatest dedication to spine surgery, with a particular focus on Ultra Minimal Invasive endoscopic techniques. His participation in international training programmes of this kind reinforces an idea we share at Brain & Spine Barcelona: continuous training is the way to bring the most advanced and safest techniques to the patient.

This type of practical training not only refines surgical technique but also consolidates the clinical judgement needed to identify which patients benefit from an endoscopic approach and when another strategy is more appropriate. It is precisely this balance between technique and clinical judgement that makes the difference in outcomes.

## What this means for our patients

Surgeons on the team participating in top-level training programmes has a direct impact on the consultation. A patient who comes to Brain & Spine Barcelona with a [spine](https://brainandspine-bcn.com/en/spine-surgery/) condition benefits from an up-to-date approach, informed by international experience and aimed at minimising surgical trauma wherever the indication allows.

The ultimate goal is always the same: to offer each person the technique best suited to their case, with the highest level of safety and the fastest possible recovery.
