Essential Minimal Access Surgery Principles -eMas Basics
By Apollo Simulation Centre
Course Description
The field of minimal access surgery has grown remarkably over the past two decades. MAS has several benefits over the traditional approach like a shorter hospital stay, less analgesic use and better cosmetic outcomes. However, it may also cause some unexpected complications. So, MAS should be approached with great caution and practice.
This blended learning program on ‘Essential Minimal Access Surgery’ will aid you to learn the evidence based principles and perform better surgeries. Hands-on experience in our ASC will help hone your skills thereby minimizing the complications. This program is specially designed to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced in the field where the basic yet very important topics like ergonomic principles, various dissection and tissue approximation techniques, and anaesthetic considerations are included along with other advanced topics like specific laparoscopic procedures in fields like general surgery, gynaecology, upper GI, bariatric, HBP, hernia, colorectal, gynaecological, and urological surgeries including a session on Robotic surgery.
Learning Outcomes
- Perform various dissection and tissue approximation tasks as per evidence based surgical principles.
