Describing the program, Dr. Manjunath Haridas, Course Director , Consultant – Surgical Gastroenterology, Manipal Hospital Whitefield, says, “This MIAS was a brainchild of mine looking at trying to bring something better – better in the sense something that is advanced, not only in terms of minimally invasive surgery but a minimally invasive advanced surgery program. By teaching these techniques to other surgeons who are new and upcoming, we ensure that other patients also get the benefit of the advanced techniques that we use. Patients who need these advanced procedures can visit us at Manipal Hospital Whitefield.“
The conference entailed 3 major segments, Biliary disease, Upper GI & Colorectal, Hepatobiliary & Pancreas. Each segment has an in-depth panel discussion, live surgery, lecture, skills lab, and a Q&A session. This time around clinicians from all over South India came over to attend the conference. Two advanced technical procedures were showcased (via live surgery) as a part of the program so that this can be transferred into a better patient community service.
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that’s been widely provided to patients. However, a minimally advanced procedure which is a new advancement in the field of surgery called the hybrid mini-lap technique can be performed on patients who require surgery such as a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and other laparoscopic procedures. This surgery is important as it leaves fewer to no scars on the patient and has a better outcome. Manipal Hospitals are able to offer this innovative procedure on a daily routine basis to patients coming from all over the world.
MIAS masterclass by Manipal Hospital Whitefield was a wholesome learning program for surgeons and upcoming surgeons that also showcased Manipal’s excellence and innovations in terms of offering better services to patients.
