AMCICO 2025 | Competing in North America, Expanding Globally! Weyo Surgical Drives a New Breakthrough in Precision Spine Training
From September 11 to 14, 2025, at the UBE anatomy workshop of AMCICO 2025 in Mexico, spine surgeons from around the world observed the delicate layers of spinal anatomy with exceptional clarity through Weyo Surgical’s wMerak 4K UHD Endoscopic System. Hailed as “MORE THAN 4K”, this advanced visualization platform is empowering precision-driven training in minimally invasive spine surgery.
As one of the most advanced techniques in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, UBE (Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy) has become a key option for treating complex spinal disorders thanks to its advantages of minimal trauma, fast recovery, and a clear surgical view. Its dual-channel design—separating the viewing and working portals—overcomes the operational limitations of conventional single-channel endoscopy. With the integration of the wMerak 4K UHD Endoscopic System, this technique gains even greater clinical power. The D.L.C. Dynamic Luminance Calibration technology ensures consistently bright and clear visualization throughout the procedure, even in anatomically complex spinal regions. Meanwhile, the R.D.C. Redness Differentiation Calibration technology enhances the contrast between blood vessels and neural structures, enabling trainees to accurately identify anatomical boundaries. Combined with the low-latency FPGA architecture, the wMerak system delivers real-time synchronization between hand movements and visual feedback, providing an immersive and precise hands-on training experience.
During the hands-on training session, participants were able to perform delicate procedures such as simulated decompression for spinal canal stenosis with ease, thanks to the ultra-high-definition visualization of the wMerak system. Structures that are typically difficult to distinguish under conventional endoscopy—such as the ligamentum flavum–dural sac interface—became clearly visible with wMerak, effectively lowering the learning curve for trainees.
This UBE anatomy workshop, held across the ocean, was more than just a one-way technical demonstration — it became a platform for deep, global interaction among spine surgeons. Local surgeons from Latin America repeatedly practiced key procedures such as simulated decompression for spinal canal stenosis and ligamentum flavum dissection under the ultra-HD visualization of the wMerak system, addressing real clinical challenges they encounter in daily practice. Meanwhile, experts from Europe and the U.S. shared their insights and engaged in in-depth discussions with the Weyo Surgical team on optimizing the technique. This immersive exchange transformed the concept of precision spine surgery from an abstract idea into a tangible experience: crystal-clear visualization, stable feedback, and a deeper understanding of how minimally invasive techniques can reduce patient trauma. Step by step, this collaboration is bridging the gap in advanced minimally invasive spine training in Latin America, injecting sustainable momentum into the region’s spine care development.
