Incidence of Morbid Obesity is rapidly increasing in India
Additionally, we are wanting to carry voluntary task from the same field through the training programs of International college of robotic surgeons, to create health awareness in regards to the disease of obesity." Dr. Mishra further declared laparoscopic surgery is a comparatively new field and needs very skilled surgeons to manage complicated cases. As a responsible centre of excellence, World Laparoscopy Hospital conducts training programmes to upgrade the knowledge and skills in the surgeons in this field," said joint managing Director, Dr. J S Chowhan.. In India, obesity is assigned to smoking, alcohol and eating fatty food habits. These contribute to increasing incidence of cancers in the breast, liver, stomach and large intestine (colon). These are the leading varieties of cancers in Indian society. Fair number of skilled bariatric surgeons will be needed in future to fight against obesity. The best options for obese candidates of a bariatric procedure still include laparoscopic gastric bypass and a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Dr. Mishra said he is moving away from laparoscopic gastric bands. Because of the health implications of bariatric surgery, such as the possibility of low iron in the blood or malnutrition, he wants to see his patients once a year after the laparoscopic bariatric surgery procedure.
