The Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery (F.MAS) 2026 at World Laparoscopy Hospital (WLH), Gurugram, India, brought together an exceptional group of surgeons and gynecologists from around the world with one common goal—to master the latest techniques in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery. This video highlights their inspiring fellowship journey, personal experiences, and professional transformation during one of the world's most respected hands-on surgical training programs.
Throughout the fellowship, participants underwent an intensive curriculum designed to combine scientific knowledge with practical surgical skills. The training included comprehensive lectures, live HD surgical demonstrations, simulation-based practice, dry laboratory exercises, box trainer sessions, laparoscopic suturing, intracorporeal and extracorporeal knotting, advanced dissection techniques, ergonomics, complication management, and supervised hands-on learning under expert guidance.
One of the defining strengths of the FMAS program is its faculty. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. R. K. Mishra, internationally recognized for his contributions to minimal access surgery education, participants received personalized mentoring and practical instruction from experienced laparoscopic and robotic surgeons. Every session emphasized safe surgical techniques, evidence-based practice, and the principles required to achieve consistent clinical excellence.
This video features genuine fellowship stories from surgeons and gynecologists representing diverse healthcare systems and countries. Participants share how the training enhanced their confidence in performing laparoscopic procedures, refined their operative techniques, improved their understanding of minimally invasive surgical principles, and prepared them to introduce advanced procedures into their own hospitals. Their testimonials reflect the quality of education, the supportive academic environment, and the practical value of the fellowship.
During the program, fellows observed and discussed a broad spectrum of advanced minimally invasive procedures, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, inguinal and ventral hernia repair, colorectal surgery, bariatric surgery, fundoplication, hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, endometriosis surgery, urological procedures, and robotic-assisted operations. Every live surgery was accompanied by detailed explanations of anatomy, operative strategy, trocar placement, energy device selection, complication avoidance, and postoperative care.
The fellowship also introduced participants to modern surgical technologies such as high-definition laparoscopy, advanced bipolar energy systems, ultrasonic devices, fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG), three-dimensional visualization, and the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. Dedicated robotic training sessions familiarized participants with console operation, docking techniques, robotic instrumentation, camera control, and robotic suturing, helping them understand the expanding role of robotic surgery in contemporary surgical practice.
World Laparoscopy Hospital has earned an international reputation by training more than 15,000 surgeons and gynecologists from over 108 countries. Its commitment to academic excellence, structured skill development, simulation-based education, and continuous innovation has made it one of the leading centers for minimally invasive surgery training worldwide. The FMAS Fellowship is recognized by healthcare professionals seeking comprehensive education that combines theory, simulation, and real operative exposure.
Beyond technical learning, the fellowship creates a global community of surgeons who exchange ideas, discuss challenging cases, and establish lifelong professional relationships. Participants return to their respective countries not only with advanced surgical skills but also with renewed confidence, broader clinical perspectives, and a commitment to improving patient outcomes through minimally invasive techniques.
