And all the advantages, disadvantages, risks related to the procedures, Intraoperative and post operative complications. She has shared her valuable personel experience about the challenges related to MIS, which she had faced in her journey of life

MIS techniques encompass various procedures across multiple medical specialties, including laparoscopic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery, endoscopic procedures, and percutaneous interventions.

Minimally Invasive Surgery has become increasingly prevalent across various medical specialties due to its numerous advantages over traditional open surgery. However, like any surgical procedure, MIS is associated with potential complications that require careful consideration and management. Surgeons must possess adequate training, expertise, and familiarity with advanced technologies to minimize the risk of complications and ensure the safety and well-being of patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures.

23.07.2022 – INSTRUMENTAL DELIVERY:REVIVING THE FADING ART”(HANDS ON TRAINING SESSION

Operative vaginal deliveries have long held an important place in the obstetrician toolbox for delivery during the 2nd stage of labour in the face of fetal or maternal concerns. Now the number of instrumental deliveries has declined exponentially in recent decades and resident training in the skill is near non existent in many programs.

On 23rd July, 2022 We conducted a workshop on “INSTRUMENTAL DELIVERY:REVIVING THE FADING ART”(HANDS ON TRAINING SESSION) in our institution at simulation centre, SMVMCH from the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology under the guidance of our chairperson Dr. Bupathy(Professor ) and Dr. Jayasree( Professor & HOD of OBG Dept) for the benefit of postgraduates from various medical colleges.
