The Fellowship in Minimal Access SURGERY (F.MAS) Training course for General Surgeons, Gynaecologists, Paediatric Surgeons and Urologists is for fourteen days. World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons and TGO University will issue the Fellowship certificate after successfully completing the "Hands On" laparoscopic training at Laparoscopy Hospital under the international training protocol set by World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons.TGO University is one of the renowned Universities all over world to impart high standard medical education with postgraduate and postdoctoral qualifications.

The F.MAS Course comprises of rigorous "Hands On" training of all essential and advanced laparoscopic procedures. The  Course is for two weeks. Post training online support for one year is provided through world's largest and most updated collection of outstanding study material (Videos, Articles, PowerPoint Presentations, and Pictures etc. for members only through our secure private member area. Text Book of Laparoscopy is provided free to complement practical knowledge with the course. The course fee is 50,000 Rupees for Indian surgeons and 1,990 USD for overseas surgeon and NRI. Fellowship course is conducted every month starting from 1st of the month for continuous Two Week.The admission is strictly on first come first serve basis.

Hostel for DoctorsThe first step in moving to advanced laparoscopic operations is to cover the ESSENTIAL component of Laparoscopy. It is important to remember that F.MAS (Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery) includes all the ESSENTIAL laparoscopic procedures and HANDS ON training is given. By concentrating on essential skills, all trainees develop the necessary fundamentals of laparoscopy, which enable them to learn more advanced laparoscopic techniques covered in this course. The course starts with learning laparoscopic suturing and knotting, a very essential skills which the surgeon must master to perform complex operations and laparoscopic reconstructions. Our aim is that laparoscopic surgeons after attending this course, should be able to perform all the taught procedures themselve on their patient, with confidence.

Certification after finishing the Laparoscopic Training

This course aims at imparting the necessary theoretical knowledge (supported with videos) along with practice on endotrainers to the participants. Each lecture in the course is complemented with structured exercises on the endotrainer under the watchful eyes of the faculty. This ensures that the participants get adequate theoretical knowledge along with some experience at hand eye camera coordination. This course is totally candidate centered and aims at imparting basic as well as advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in minimal access surgery to the young and experiences surgeons in a structured manner. Emphasis is on day to day practical problems that a Laparoscopic Surgeon faces. This course is a must for anyone who wishes to pursue his/her career in the field of laparoscopic surgery in any discipline. Thus colleagues from the disciplines of surgery, gynecology, urology, pediatric surgery will stand to gain immensely from it. This advanced laparoscopic training courses takes into account a broad range of students. There is the young resident who grew up in the video age and who possesses an ability to easily translate two dimensional images into three dimensional maneuvers, but at the other end of the spectrum is the established surgeon or ever professors with years of clinical experience who may find that the "feel" of an open technique is lost with laparoscopic maneuvers and who may have difficulties at first adapting to the lack of depth perception in a two dimensional field.

When the surgeon is comfortable with the equipment, training in procedures with experimental animals will start. The porcine model is ideal for a number of practice tasks, such as Cholecystectomy, Intraoperative Cholangiography, Common Bile Duct Exploration, Appendectomy, Salpinggostomy for Ectopic Pregnancy (which can be simulated by excising the fallopian tube), followed by Salpingectomy, LAVH, Suturing, Bowel re­section, Lymphadenectomy, Vagotomy, Simulated re­pair of perforated Duodenal ulcer, Hernia repair, Varicocelectomy, Nephrectomy, Retroperitoneoscopic and Thoracoscopic and other essential as well as advanced procedures.

Laparoscopic Courses

Before the surgeon can learn the subtleties of a new type of operation, the surgeon is reminded of the basics of the indications and contraindications for a given laparoscopic operation; the pertinent anatomy with regard to both an open technique and to a laparoscopic approach; the appropriate instrumentation; the technical plan, especially regarding trocar position, patient position, and the method to allow adequate exposure using traction and counter traction; the possible optional plans; and the possible associated complications, so the pitfalls can be recognized and avoided. Suture repair and omental patching of a perforated Duodenal ulcer is readily simulated by creating an anterior duodenal perforation with the electrocautery probe. Truncal vagotomy, Posterior truncal vagotomy and Anterior Seromyotomy can then be practiced to learn the definitive acid reducing procedure. Other procedures such as liver biopsy, gastroesophageal reflux maneuvers, extraperitoneal dissection, TEP and TAPP herniorrhaphy and Nephrectomy is also be performed, Gastric Banding can be reproduced in the animal model very nicely along with all colonic surgery. For surgeons to perform laparoscopic operations on human patients, they must practice the procedures and must become thoroughly familiar with the subtleties of each maneuver.
