Basics and Complications of Minimally Invasive Surgery

Event Name: Basics and complications of minimally invasive surgery 2024
Date: 01-MARCH-2024
Time: 12.00am to 01.00pm
Venue: Conference hall 4th floor
Department: OBG Department

On 01st March, 2024, a guest lecture was given by Dr Lakshmi Sameera, Consultant Gynaecologist, on “BASICS AND COMPLICATIONS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY” and it was attended by postgraduates and undergraduates at conference hall, SMVMCH by 12.00pm.

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has revolutionized the field of surgery by offering patients less invasive alternatives to traditional open surgeries. These techniques utilize small incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced imaging technologies to perform complex surgical procedures with reduced trauma to the body. While MIS offers numerous benefits, it is essential to understand both its basics and potential complications to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

She has thought us about the Basics of Minimally invasive surgery & given us a good knowledge of different types of incisions, port placement, how to handle the laproscopic equipment and its parts, different types of techniques used. 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.

This session enlightened the knowledge of students.

INSTRUMENTAL DELIVERY: REVIVING THE FADING ART

Date: 03-FEB-2024
Time: 08.30 AM – 4.30 PM
Venue: SIMULATION CENTRE, SMVMCH

INSTRUMENTAL DELIVERY WORKSHOP on 3 rd February 2024

The frequency of instrumental vaginal delivery varies from one country to another, and even in the same country, from one obstetric unit to another.

The alternative to attempting instrumental delivery, however, is to directly perform second stage caesarean delivery, which also carries a high burden of morbidity.

In low resource countries like India, the rates of caesarean deliveries are still high but IVD should provide a good alternative for delivery.

The aim of the workshop was to provide skill and knowledge regarding instrumental vaginal delivery as it is an essential skill for all the obstetricians.

In this regard our department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology organised a hands-on training session on instrumental delivery on 3rd February 2024 from 08:30 A.M. to 04:30 P.M. at our simulation centre, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical college & Hospital, Pondicherry under the guidance of Dr. Jayasree .M, Professor & HOD, Dr. Bhubathy .A, Professor organizing Vice- chairperson, Dr. Nivedita .K, Professor and Dr. Poomalar G.K, Professor.
