About Us
Why create a society?
Despite the growth of pediatric neurosurgery and oncology, no existing society is solely dedicated to the surgical challenges of pediatric brain and spinal tumors. SPNO was founded to fill this void with focused intent and global reach.
Surgical Advancement
Surgical techniques evolve faster than general societies can keep up.
Bridging the Surgical Gap
Most groups focus broadly or on drug therapy, not pediatric brain surgery.
Providing a Case-Sharing Hub
Surgeons lack a dedicated space to discuss complex cases.
Ensuring Even Care Worldwide
SPNO promotes shared learning to close global gaps in care.
SPNO brings together pediatric neurosurgical professionals from around the world to share best practices, advance research, and improve care for all children, no matter where they live.
