FELLOWSHIP IN GENERAL LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY

MGA Medical Global Academy’s Fellowship in General Laparoscopic Surgery is a practical post-graduate course that is suited for MS surgeons wishing to develop a more advanced skill set in minimally-invasive surgical techniques. This 12-month structured fellowship includes theoretical education and clinical training in various fields such as abdominal, pelvic, bariatric, colorectal, endocrine, gynecological and emergency laparoscopic surgery. Emphasis is placed on utilizing advanced laparoscopic skills and simulation-based learning with modern surgical technologies to enhance the precision, safety, and quality of surgical care, reduce complications, and enhance perioperative care. Through this program, Fellows receive extensive training in a wide range of laparoscopic equipment, patient selection, suturing, and handling of laparoscopic tissue, as well as evidence-based minimally invasive surgical practices, all of which are vital for more complex surgical roles in today’s healthcare environment.

Skills You Will Gain

• Understanding of principles of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), laparoscopic anatomy, port placement and positioning, patient selection, and operating room ergonomics.

• Basic and advanced laparoscopic surgeries of abdomen, pelvis, colorectal, bariatric, endocrine and emergency surgeries.

• Laparoscopic suturing, intracorporeal knot tying, tissue handling and advanced dissection.

• Exposure to specialized procedural workflows in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hernia repair, hysterectomy, adrenalectomy and colorectal surgeries.

• A knowledge of advanced laparoscopic instruments, energy devices, imaging systems and modern surgical technologies.

• Knowing how to manage patients perioperatively, from preoperative assessment to postoperative recovery, pain management and prevention of complications.

• Learning about laparoscopy-related bleeding, bowel injury, infection and open surgery.
