Spine Surgery Fellowship The Spine Surgery Fellowship offers extensive training in the evaluation and treatment of diverse spinal disorders for both orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. Specific rotations provide comprehensive assessment and treatment of degenerative disorders of the cervical and lumbar spine, adult and pediatric spinal deformities, tumors of the spinal cord and spinal column, pain management, and spinal column trauma. Fellows rotate to locations within the Houston area with pain management specialists, neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons. According to Rex Marco, MD, vice chair of orthopedic surgery and chief of reconstructive spine surgery and musculoskeletal oncology at Houston Methodist, the purpose of this fellowship is ambitious and thorough—To provide fellows with maximum surgical and clinical experience from occiput to sacrum, with minimally and maximally invasive procedures in all aspects of the spine.
