CSRS-AP 2027

CSRS-AP 2027 will mark the 17th Annual Meeting and the seventh CSRS-AP meeting to be held in Japan. It will also be the first CSRS-AP Annual Meeting ever held in Tokyo, making this a particularly meaningful and memorable occasion. We hope that the meeting will further advance cervical spine and spinal cord care while strengthening international collaboration throughout the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. The theme of the meeting is:
“One AP, One Future.”
This theme embodies our aspiration to bring together the diverse countries, cultures, healthcare systems, and generations of the Asia-Pacific region as one community, united by a shared mission and a common vision for the future. By connecting people, knowledge, technology, and education across borders, we hope to shape the future of cervical spine care together.
The scientific program will offer a broad range of sessions, including oral and poster presentations, debate sessions, educational lectures, and invited talks by distinguished experts from Japan and around the world. From practical topics directly relevant to daily clinical practice to cutting-edge research that may shape the future direction of cervical spine care, we hope the meeting will provide a dynamic forum for meaningful discussion, knowledge exchange, and new academic collaboration.
Cervical spine care is entering an exciting era of transformation. Innovative technologies, including endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, artificial intelligence, navigation, robotics, and advanced imaging analysis, are increasingly influencing diagnosis, treatment, education, and research. At CSRS-AP 2027, we look forward to exploring how these innovations can further enhance the safety, precision, and minimally invasive nature of cervical spine care.
Tokyo, our host city, is a place where tradition and innovation coexist in remarkable harmony. The Imperial Palace, historic landmarks, and streets reflecting centuries of Japanese culture stand alongside one of the world’s most advanced urban environments and vibrant contemporary culture. Beyond the scientific program, we hope you will take the opportunity to experience Tokyo’s rich history, culture, cuisine, hospitality, and unique energy.
We hope that CSRS-AP 2027 will be more than a forum for sharing the latest scientific knowledge. We envision it as an opportunity to foster new friendships and collaborations across borders and generations, and to inspire the next era of research, education, and innovation. Above all, we hope that this Tokyo meeting will serve as a meaningful milestone and a new starting point for the continued advancement of cervical spine care in the years and decades ahead.
One AP, One Future.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to Tokyo and sharing this memorable meeting with all of you.

Sincerely yours,

Ken Ishii, MD
President
17th Annual Meeting of the Cervical Spine Research Society-Asia Pacific
