SevenHills,
AGOI & IAGES conduct video CME on laparoscopic onco surgery
In a joint operation,
SevenHills Hospital, the Association of Gynecologic Oncologists of India (AGOI)
and Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endosurgeons (IAGES) recently
conducted master class video workshop on minimal access surgery in oncology, covering
the entire spectrum of laparoscopy in oncology.
The topics discussed
during this session were laparoscopic surgery in gynecologic oncology,
laparoscopic uro-oncology, laparoscopic surgery in thoracic oncology and
laparoscopic GI oncology. The CME, under the theme ‘standardising and
improvising the technique of laparoscopy in oncosurgery’, was conducted in the
presence of national faculty and experts in the field of minimal invasive
surgery from New Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmadabad and Pune.
The programme was headed
by Dr Nagendra Parvataneni, advanced laparoscopic and oncoplastic surgeon,
SevenHills Hospital and was supported by Dr Chitwan Dubey, consultant
gynaecologist and Dr Avanish Arora, consultant in urology from SevenHills
Hospital.
Dr Nagendra Parvataneni
said, “Laparoscopy is rapidly evolving and newer techniques are being
constantly introduced. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the most significant
technique for minimally invasive surgery. Notable advances in the technology
have greatly improved the evaluation and treatment of cancer patients too.”
In the last 6 months,
SevenHills hospital has treated close to 180 patients using advanced
laparoscopic procedures. Laparoscopy is an innovative surgical technique
performed in the body through small incisions (0.5–1.5cm) with the aid of a
camera and can be used either to inspect and diagnose a condition or to perform
minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as opposed to the larger slits needed in a
traditional surgery.
