The Society of Minimally Invasive and Interventional Spinal Surgery (OMID) was founded in 2009 in Istanbul by the leading physicians who practiced minimally invasive endoscopic spinal surgery for the first time in Turkey. As required under the laws; the Society is neither a sub-group nor a branch of any national and international society. Abbreviated as OMID in Turkish and internationally known as TurkMISS, the society is comprised of physicians engaged in Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MISS). Our members include the anatomists, pain physicians, brain neurosurgeon and orthopaedic and trauma specialists who are all specialized in spine in addition to the MISS endoscopic practices.
