Kambin Award 2011 ontvangen van Dr. Kambin and  Dr. Choll Kim, president Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (SMISS)

Mainz June 20th 2015

Der dritte Preisträger ist Dr. Menno Iprenburg, Rugkliniek Iprenburg aus den Niederlanden. Er erhielt den Preis (Golden Kambin Award) für sein Lebenswerk. Seit 2004 wendet er die joimax® Methoden an und konnte in seiner Klinik bisher mehr als 2.100 Patienten mit Bandscheibenvorfällen behandeln.
Der Award ist nach Dr. Parviz Kambin benannt. Er gilt als Entdecker des sogenannten Kambin-Dreiecks, welches die Begrenzung innerhalb des Foramen intervertebrale beschreibt, durch den man den Spinalkanal sicher erreichen kann. Da diese Sicherheitszone annähernd dreieckig geformt ist, wurde sie „Kambin Dreieck“ genannt.

Parviz Kambin Award for three joimax® Faculty Members

During a special joimax® faculty meeting which was held at the institute of anatomy at the University of Mainz, Germany on June 20-21, joimax® honored three surgeons with the Parviz Kambin Award. Dr. Albert Telfeian, Rhode Island Hospital, Brown University, RI, US and Dr. Gabriele Jasper, Center for Pain Control, NJ, US received the award in recognition of their outstanding scientific and educational dedication to transforaminal surgery. The two surgeons tremendously contributed to this field with numerous high quality publications. Also they are treading new paths for spinal endoscopy. Just recently Dr. Telfeian did the first awake surgery to remove a thoracic spinal tumor. Dr. Menno Iprenburg, Iprenburg Herniakliniek, NL received the award for his lifetime achievement. Dr. Iprenburg is applying joimax techniques, especially TESSYS, since 2004. In his private clinic, he successfully treated more than 2000 patients suffering from disc herniations.  

The award is named after Dr. Parviz Kambin who identified a workspace within the intervertebral foramen, through which the spinal canal can be accessed safely. Because this safe zone is somewhat triangular shaped, it was named the „Kambin triangle“.
