5th IPA Cadaveric Workshop – Warsaw 2026

Date: Friday, 27 November 2026
Location: Warsaw – Jablonna, Poland
Format: 1-day intensive cadaver hands-on training
Venue: WARSAW LAB Practical Medicine Institute, Prosta 2 Street, 05-110 Jabłonna – Warsaw, Poland
Key Course Metrics: 5 Stations | 20 Participants | 1:4 Hands-on Ratio | Cadaver-Based Training
Multimodal training (fluoroscopy, ultrasound, needle-based endoscopy)

Course Overview

This cadaver workshop is designed as a practical, hands-on training programme in interventional pain and musculoskeletal medicine, covering both fundamental and advanced procedural techniques.

The course focuses on the integration of anatomical knowledge with image-guided interventional techniques, with emphasis on procedural safety, precision, and clinical applicability.

Participants will engage in structured cadaver-based training under direct faculty supervision, with repeated hands-on exposure across multiple procedural domains.

Educational Objectives

The aim of the course is to enhance participants’ understanding and technical proficiency in image-guided interventional procedures through cadaver-based training.

Upon completion, participants are expected to improve competence in:

• Anatomical orientation relevant to interventional pain procedures
• Safe and accurate image-guided access techniques
• Core interventional pain procedures under fluoroscopic guidance
• Application of minimally invasive procedural techniques
• Recognition and avoidance of procedural pitfalls

Target Audience

The course is intended for physicians involved in interventional management of pain and musculoskeletal disorders, including:

• Pain medicine specialists
• Anaesthesiologists
• Spine intervention physicians
• Orthopaedic surgeons
• Neurosurgeons
• Other clinicians performing image-guided interventions

Course Structure

The workshop is organised into five parallel cadaver stations.

Two stations are dedicated primarily to fluoroscopy-guided spine interventions (C-arm), focusing on established diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in interventional pain medicine.

The remaining three stations are focused on musculoskeletal and orthopaedic pain-related interventions, performed under ultrasound guidance and using 7StarScope® technology.

Participants will be divided into five small groups of four and will rotate between all stations under direct faculty supervision. This structure ensures intensive hands-on experience and repeated procedural exposure in a controlled educational setting.

Procedures Covered

The workshop includes a broad range of interventional pain and musculoskeletal procedures, covering both fundamental and more advanced techniques.

Training is structured to support stepwise learning, from commonly performed injections to more advanced image-guided and minimally invasive procedures.

Core Interventional Pain Procedures

• Diagnostic medial branch blocks
• Epidural injections (interlaminar and transforaminal)
• Facet joint injections
• Sacroiliac joint injections
• Peripheral joint injections (shoulder, knee, hip)

Fluoroscopy-Guided Spine Procedures

• Pre-procedural diagnostic work-up
• Transpedicular basivertebral nerve ablation with straight probe – BVNA
• Selected intradiscal techniques (Resadisc®)

Ultrasound and Image-Guided Musculoskeletal Procedures

• Joint injections (upper and lower extremity)
• Spine and paraspinal injections
• Nerve root and peripheral nerve procedures
• 7StarScope®-assisted visualization techniques
