Is Hands on Training Essential for Beginners in Learning Laparoscopic Surgery

Gurgaon, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/12/2014 -- Laparoscopic surgery Training is essential for the surgeon and gynecologist who wants to learn this highly skilled branch of surgery. According the Dr. R.K. Mishra Director World Laparoscopy Hospital, Gurgaon, India “The perioperative complication rate between trainees and mentor is great and the beginners without laboratory trainings could not perform simple laparoscopic surgery like laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy safely and effectively” The operative skill after they participated in staged clinical laparoscopic training markedly improves.

Laparoscopic surgery has been associated with less minor complications and shorter duration of hospital stay when compared to open surgery and it is now the essential skill for any general surgeon and gynecologist. Laparoscopic surgery has therefore replaced open surgery for many surgical and gynecological procedures over the years. Due to the lack of good laparoscopic training institute and equipment for laparoscopic surgery, this is rarely the case in resource-constrained developing countries. However, it is important to remember that the use of laparoscopy could have implications in reducing the financial burden on the often overstretched health care systems in these regions poor patients while at the same time improving the well-being of patients who earn by their physical efforts.

According to Dr. R.K. Mishra “Laparoscopic surgery training in developing countries bears many challenges which include the availability and condition of the equipment and material used as well as the experience and skills of the trainer”. At World Laparoscopy Hospital, India we have solved these problem and now it is considered as center of excellence for laparoscopic and daVinci robotic surgery training in Asia for surgeons and gynecologists.

In order to address this gap of good laparoscopic surgery training enter, the programme has set out by World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons (WALS) to support developing countries in improving laparoscopy. Through a top-to-bottom approach, it shall be ensured by WALS that the quality laparoscopic surgery training institutes are widely accessible and sustainable in these countries. Initially, only centres already performing laparoscopy are considered for collaboration with WALS and one of the leader in this fiend to give state of the art laparoscopic surgery training is World Laparoscopy Hospital, which is tertiary care or university hospital dedicated for laparoscopic and da Vinci robotic surgery. Once the capacity of laparoscopic surgeons and gynecologist to perform laparoscopic surgery with confidence is built and staff sufficiently trained, laparoscopy is anticipated to be introduced at the periphery of the health care system.

World Laparoscopy Hospital has set a framework for assessment of the status regarding laparoscopy training in India under the direct supervision of Dr. R.K. Mishra. With help of this assessment, it will be possible to estimate the current capacity and needs of participating institutions prior to developing and implementing relevant training activities and Fellowship ad Diploma in Minimal Access Surgery will be imparted. Detailed data on hospital hads on training facility settings, number and kind of laparoscopic operations, existing training programmes and equipment are collected in order to adapt the minimal access training programme according to the fulfil the need of surgeons and gynecologists



Laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized the field of surgery, providing patients with minimally invasive surgical techniques that minimize pain, scarring, and recovery time. As the demand for laparoscopic surgery continues to grow, it is essential to provide beginners with adequate training to ensure patient safety and optimal surgical outcomes. Hands-on training is a vital component of laparoscopic surgery training, and this essay will argue that it is essential for beginners to learn laparoscopic surgery.

Firstly, laparoscopic surgery is a highly technical procedure that requires extensive training to master. It involves using specialized instruments and a camera to perform surgery through small incisions, requiring a high degree of hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Hands-on training allows beginners to develop these skills by practicing with laparoscopic simulators and performing surgeries under the guidance of experienced surgeons. This hands-on experience is crucial in helping beginners develop the muscle memory and precision necessary to perform laparoscopic surgeries accurately.

Secondly, hands-on training allows beginners to understand the limitations and challenges of laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery requires a different set of skills than traditional open surgery, and beginners must learn how to overcome the challenges of working with limited space, limited visibility, and restricted instrument movement. Hands-on training allows beginners to practice with laparoscopic instruments in a simulated environment and understand how to perform surgeries with these limitations.

Thirdly, hands-on training helps beginners gain confidence in performing laparoscopic surgery. Performing surgery is a high-pressure environment, and beginners must be confident in their abilities to perform surgeries successfully. Hands-on training allows beginners to gain the confidence and experience necessary to perform surgeries independently, leading to better surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Finally, hands-on training is essential for patient safety. In laparoscopic surgery, mistakes can lead to serious complications, and it is crucial for beginners to have adequate training to ensure patient safety. Hands-on training allows beginners to practice their surgical skills in a controlled environment and make mistakes without causing harm to patients.

In conclusion, hands-on training is essential for beginners to learn laparoscopic surgery. It provides beginners with the necessary technical skills, understanding of the challenges of laparoscopic surgery, confidence, and patient safety to perform surgeries successfully. As laparoscopic surgery continues to grow in popularity, it is vital to provide beginners with adequate hands-on training to ensure that patients receive the best possible surgical outcomes.
