The World Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons (WALS) has been created under the Societies of Registration Act, 1860, in order to put greater focus on this important branch of surgery and help in its growth. The WALS also endevours to promote education, training and research. The WALS has held several camps and organized Two International Congresses on “Recent Advances in Minimal Access Surgery” in collaboration with Capt Ayush Purusartha Foundation (CAPF) on March 14-16, 2008 and February 14-15, 2010 in New Delhi. Both were great success.
The WALS have taken initiative to incentives greater innovation in the laparoscopic surgery. In keeping with its adjectives, the WALS in collaboration with Capt Ayush Purusartha Foundation (CAPF) is holding the Third Laparoscopic Congress on February 14-15, 2012 at World Laparoscopy Hospital, Cyber City, Gurgaon, NCR, Delhi, India.
The Congress will provide a platform to address key issues, devolves on strengths and weakness, identifies technological gaps, opportunities and challenges and develop a road map to take further to its rightful place. Hence the theme: “Recent Advances in Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery.”
