Practical Training Infrastructure at World Laparoscopy Hospital
                DEDICATED EXPERIMENTAL OPERATIONAL THEATRE



             The experimental operating room at WORLD LAPAROSCOPY HOSPITAL training centre is a unique teaching
             unit comprising 25 HD experimental surgical working stations linked by a high-speed image transmission system.
             We take only 30 students in one batch so that they can work comfortably. Each working station is composed of an
             operating table, a digital laparoscopic camera coupled with a 250W LED cold light source, broadband thermal
             insufflators, high frequency electro surgical generator and a vacuum suction-irrigation system. Each station
             features 5 and 10 millimetre optics with 0° and 30° view angles telescope.
             Our lecture theatre is linked by an interactive multimedia teaching system with high resolution Dual HD Projector,
             which displays different kind of images, videos, such as external views using a camera incorporated in socialistic,
             endoscopic views of the chief expert's  table and images from  a multimedia computer presenting  all surgical
             procedures in laparoscopic surgery.
             Surgical dress  is provided  at the time of experiment  and O.T. exposure.  In order  to comply  with real  surgical
             conditions, participants are assisted by a theatre nurse. In addition, an expert laparoscopic surgeon supervises
             operating tables to facilitate learning acquisition.
             There will be extensive didactic session with detailed instructions followed by a supervised intensive, Hands-On
             session in our state-of-the-art skills laboratory  with Harmonic Scalpel, Ligasure,  Monopolar and Bipolar. The
             participant will first complete a structured curriculum on our virtual laparoscopy simulator designed to perfect
             depth perception, eye-hand coordination of dominant and non-dominant hand skills. The participant will then be
             instructed on the various suturing as well as intra-corporeal and extra-corporeal knot tying techniques including
             regular needles and Endostitch with ample time to practice in our state-of-the-art skills laboratory until proficiency
             is attained on animate.

             Laparoscopy  Program  as well  as exposure  to endoscopic stapling devices,  hand assisted  laparoscopic  surgery,
             laparoscopic vascular control techniques in all specialities, laparoscopic bowel division and anastomosis is also
             covered in the training programme. This course includes a half-day hands-on training in our animal lab, which can
             be tailored to the surgeon’s particular needs. The programme is best suited for the surgeons, gynaecologists and
             urologists  with  very  limited  laparoscopic  experience  who  wishes  to  start  performing  a  certain  laparoscopic
             procedure and wishes to have an intense individualized training experience.
