  • Introduction
Spine Center is the first medical center in Taiwan, modeled after the Mayo Clinic in the United States. It combines cross-disciplinary spine expertise, specifically neurosurgery and orthopedics, creating a comprehensive spine medical center. With a team of outstanding spine specialists, the Spine Center provides precise services annually to more than 3,000 domestic and international spine patients. Currently, the Spine Center's leading surgical treatments include computer-guided minimally invasive spinal surgery, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, spinal deformity surgery, revision lumbar spine surgery, and minimally invasive interventional spinal surgery. Furthermore, the Spine Center has the largest number of surgeries and the most experience in using 3D computer navigation technology to treat spinal diseases in Taiwan. The Spine Center will hold combined discussion meetings at least twice a month and arrange for various specialists within the center to report on emerging technologies, share practical operations, and organize literature and journals. Cheng-Di Chiu, Deputy Director of the Spine Center, performed the first and largest number of MIS cervical and lumbar Nucleoplasty procedures in Taiwan, with over 350 cases in total. He is also a pioneer of mini-PLIF and mini-TLIF in Taiwan and has expertise in minimally invasive spine surgery. He also committed to the development and teaching of spine surgery technology, participating in numerous clinical teaching and training courses, including outpatient teaching and operating room training. He also investigates surgical and interventional approaches used to mitigate symptoms from disc degenerative disease. As a member of the CMUH Spine Center, he recently designed and implemented MSC-based therapy for patients with sub-acute stage spinal cord injuries, one of the leading protocols accepted by the Taiwanese government and introduced at CMUH since May 2021. At the same time, he also actively assists in revising the OSCE teaching plan, compiles the teaching plan for clinical reasoning, and serves as an examiner for the national examination. Additionally, he is responsible for teaching the introductory course in neurosurgery at the school, bringing a wealth of teaching experience.
