During our Fellowship and diploma course we provide intensive practical practice of advanced laparoscopic suturing and knotting skills. The course is aimed at practicing surgeons, gynaecologists, pediatric surgeon and urologists, or consultants in any specialty who wish to refine their laparoscopic suturing and knotting skills. This is a two day intensive "hands on" practical training with personal tuition from experts. Participants are particularly encouraged to study effective needle handling and bite placement, and at the end of course they will be able to apply 12 types of interrupted and continuous suturing them self on their patients after intensive training on porcine tissue at ultramodern lab of World Laparoscopy Hospital.
The Fellowship and Diploma course is suitable for practicing surgeons and consultants working in general surgery, gynecology and urology.
"This course meets the guidelines as established in the "Framework for Post-Residency Surgical Education and Training" and is endorsed by various international organizations including WALS and ICRS.

Ergonomics is a science which aims to optimize the performance of a task by analyzing both the performer and the environment in which the task is carried out. During Laparoscopic Surgery the role of ergonomics is paramount. At World Laparoscopy Hospital many research has been perform to make the laparoscopic suturing easy. World Laparoscopy Hospital is the best and most respected institute of the world for Laparoscopic training.
