Veterinary Endoscopy (F.Endo) Training course for Veterinary Doctors at World Laparoscopy Hospital India is 2 days condensed Hands on Course. World Laparoscopy Hospital provides this opportunities and resources for dedicated veterinarian to realize their dreams of becoming skilled sndoscopist.

It's been 25 Years since World Laparoscopy Hospital is conducting Training in Laparoscopic surgery program and more than 15000 surgeons and gynecologists from more than 138 countries has already been successfully Trained in Minimal Access Surgery and Endoscopy. Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Courses of World Laparoscopy Hospital are University recognized and also internationally recognized by World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons. This is a newly developed intensive 2-day course focusing on essential skills and procedures required for safe GI endoscopy can be performed and implemented in different veterinary practice areas. The course has been carefully designed to maximise hands on experience for better understanding about this highly specialised field.

For veterinary doctors to perform diagnostic as well as theurapetic endoscopy on animals, they must practice the procedures and must become thoroughly familiar with the subtleties of each maneuver.

COURSE STRUCTURE

This technique helps in thorough examination and evaluation of an area of interest and also required for obtaining tissue for histopathologic evaluation. Endoscopy can be implemented for foreign body removal, PEG tube placement or GI biopsy. The endoscopy can be a beneficial tool with many therapeutic applications including foreign body retrieval, stone removal, or feeding tube placement. This is a highly sophisticated technique which requires extensive training and skills and can be learned over time. This training will be helpful for the veterinarians in acquiring knowledge and practical exposure to implement in their day-to-day practice to be an important component of veterinary practice.

Complete Hands on Endoscopic Training will be provided under supervision of Prof. R. K. Mishra. Before the surgeon can learn the subtleties of a new type of endoscopic procedures, the veterinary surgeon is reminded of the basics of the indications and contraindications for a given laparoscopic operation; the applied anatomy of animal with regard to both an open technique and to a laparoscopic approach; the appropriate instrumentation; the ergonomical plan, especially regarding trocar position and the method to allow adequate exposure using traction and counter traction; the possible surgical task analysis; and the possible associated complications, so the pitfalls can be recognized and avoided.

Our Batch With Then Honarable Defense Minister of India Mr. George Fernandes

As we are aware that veterinary endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the veterinarians to look within an organ or body cavity and acquire diagnostic information. Since Endoscopy has an enormously broad scope and a high impact on welfare of animals, competence in this field should urgently be promoted and provided in India. To perform endoscopy in animals it requires skills and organized training. This is our effort to train the veterinarians in the field of endoscopy to improve their understanding and learn this highly specialized technique which will be very helpful for the veterinarians in acquiring not only techniques and responsibility towards animals but also help them to develop an ethical attitude towards animals by improving animal welfare. As you are aware that the standard of veterinary science is continuously improving with advancement in technology and the pet patients and their owners are expecting and demanding a higher level of care coupled with advanced techniques so that their animals can get minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. Endoscopy for veterinary patients proven to be a versatile tool which can provide a nonsurgical option for diagnosis and have therapeutic application for a variety of disease conditions in animals. As of now, we are lacking a dedicated training program for veterinarian in India, because of not having a properly dedicated endoscopy training centre with state of art facilities. So, we have planned this training program where veterinarians can get training on dry lab specifically designed for veterinary application, cadavers and finally wet lab training.
