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.
