INTRODUCTION
In the last 20 years, Minimally-Invasive Surgery
(MIS) has expanded from its niche area to join
the mainstream of most surgical specialties. In
fact, MIS procedures have become the
preferred choices in gallbladder, colorectal and
bariatric surgery; and indeed MIS is even making
inroads into traditional bastions of open surgery
such as transplant, cardiac and orthopedic
surgery.
Surgical training in the 21st century would be
incomplete without formal teaching and
structured guidance in the technique of MIS
procedures. This workshop will allow
participants to practice and enhance their
laparoscopic skills.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
TARGET AUDIENCE
At the end of the workshop, trainees will be able
to demonstrate the basic laparoscopic techniques
and acquire skills and knowledge in handling the
laparoscopic instruments and camera.
This workshop is strongly recommended as a
mandatory program for R1/R2 residents in
General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology,
Cardiothoracic and Surgery-In-General &
Surgical Specialties (Urology) programs. It is also
recommended for House Officers, Medical
Officers and any interested clinicians who seek
to equip themselves with the basic laparoscopic
techniques.
