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.
