The Swiss Society for Spinal Surgery introduces itself

The Swiss Society for Spinal Surgery was founded in 1999. It is the platform and organisation of Swiss spinal surgeons and serves the informal exchange of experience and knowledge in the field of spinal diseases and injuries, the development of recommendations and guidelines for treatment, as well as the promotion of spinal surgery and representation of its members.

It represents the interests of spinal surgeons both nationally and internationally. SGS assumes professional policy tasks on behalf of the Swiss Society of Neurosurgery (SGNC) and the Swiss Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (SO).

Among other things, it represents both SO and SGNC in EuSSAB. The latter serves as a communication platform for the European spine societies. Ordinary members can be specialists in neurosurgery and orthopaedic traumatology working in Switzerland.
