Welcome & Introduction
Spine surgery is evolving. iSERF is leading the way. Join us at the forefront.
We’re standing at the edge of a breakthrough. Endoscopic spine surgery is not just the future — it’s the present, and iSERF is here to lead the way. What began as a vision among a handful of surgeons has now taken shape as a global foundation dedicated to advancing research, education, and community in this transformative field. We’re building something bold, ambitious, and lasting.
iSERF was created by surgeons who believe in better outcomes, better tools, and better access for patients — and we know that meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why we’re inviting key partners to join us now — at the beginning —
while the foundation is still fresh, the movement still forming, and the opportunities still wide open.
The momentum is real, and we’re inviting a select group to shape what’s next. If you’re reading this, you’re not just a potential supporter — you’re on the ground floor of something transformative. We’re not just asking you to sponsor an event. We’re asking you to be part of a legacy. Let’s build the future of spinal care, together.
