The Institute of Minimal Access, Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, Max Healthcare Institute Ltd., New Delhi, India conducts several training programs focusing on basic introductory courses to advanced training modules. These programs aim to help surgeons acquire skills for laparoscopic surgery by training on endo-trainer and simulators in order to familiarize students with the art of operating under 2D videoscopic guidance. It teaches surgeons how to manipulate instruments without injuring structures and to appreciate operating without depth perception. This helps in developing enhanced hand-to-eye coordination in the unstressed environment.
These training programs include series of seminars, clinical assessments and case discussions on basic instrumentation, their use and maintenance, intricacies of surgical procedures, complications and their prevention, monthly audit of all the cases performed in the previous month, to check on case assessment, instrument assessment, procedural difficulties, complications and to discuss ways of improving patient care.
The center has an exhaustive video / CDs library (edited / unedited) of basic and advanced laparoscopic surgical procedures recorded in digital system. These are utilized for training candidates through video discussions on previously operated patients, critical evaluation of procedures and also serve as future references of techniques used in handling difficult and unexpected situations.
The training programs also include active involvement in the operation theatre, initially through observation of operations performed by proficient surgeons and later by assisting surgery in a graduated manner.
Exposure to medline for latest development in the field of minimal access surgery, basic reading material on general and some specific procedures from text books in the library, study of overview of minimal access surgery techniques as well as selected papers from the latest journals are made available to those undergoing training.
