Laparoscopic Fellowship Course Structure:
The first step in the F.MAS course is to cover the essential components of laparoscopic surgery. During the first week of training, the program emphasizes "HANDS ON" training and essential minimal access surgical skills. All fellowship trainees develop the necessary fundamentals of laparoscopy, preparing them for the advanced laparoscopic operative techniques covered in the subsequent weeks of the course.
The Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery course is entirely candidate-centered, aiming to impart both basic and advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in minimal access surgery to both young and experienced surgeons and gynecologists in a structured manner. The course places a strong emphasis on addressing the practical problems that a laparoscopic surgeon encounters on a day-to-day basis.
The course begins by teaching essential laparoscopic access techniques, including safe trocar insertion, pneumoperitoneum, suturing and knotting, dissection techniques, and tissue retrieval methods. It also covers the principles of the baseball diamond, the concept of port positioning, and the safe use of various energy sources, among other critical skills.
Once the fundamentals are established, the course proceeds to teach clinical surgery topics step by step, with demonstrations on live patients in the operating theatre. During live surgeries, participants can ask questions and request consultants to demonstrate specific tasks.
At World Laparoscopy Hospital, live surgery demonstrations are conducted ethically, with informed consent from patients. Consulting surgeons explain procedure steps and answer questions from participants. It is essential to maintain a professional demeanor, respect patient privacy and dignity, and follow strict protocols to ensure the safety of both patients and staff in the operating room.
By the end of the course, attending surgeons and gynecologists should be able to confidently perform all the taught procedures on their own patients. The course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in a highly advanced HD laparoscopic skill lab. Expert professors deliver structured lectures, complemented by exercises conducted under the watchful eyes of the faculty. This comprehensive approach ensures that participants gain sufficient theoretical knowledge and develop the hand-eye coordination necessary for successful laparoscopic surgery.
