MGA Medical Global Academy’s Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery is an advanced post-graduate course aimed at enhancing the expertise of surgeons and MS professionals in minimally invasive surgeries through a practice-oriented course. This is a structured fellowship program that lasts for 12 months and includes a balance of theory and clinical training in laparoscopic, endoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgery. The program emphasizes better surgical accuracy, patient safety, peri-operative management, and recovery of patients, as well as introducing students to current surgical technology and evidence-based surgical practice. Fellows acquire all aspects of gastrointestinal, gynecological, urological, hepatobiliary, colorectal, spine and robotic-assisted minimal access surgeries, ready to advance in their surgical practice in the modern healthcare setting.
Skills You Will Gain
Understanding of laparoscopic surgical techniques, positioning, trocar placement, CO2 insufflation and Operating Room ergonomics.
Assisted training in robotic surgery procedures performed in gastrointestinal, gynecological, urological, colorectal and cardiac surgeries.
Knowledge of dissecting tissue, performing various types of intracorporeal sutures, staples, vessel sealing and hemostasis techniques.
Knowledge of the management of surgical complications – bleeding, bowel injury, gas embolism and conversion to open surgery.
