World Laparoscopy Hospital

World Laparoscopy Hospital is the premier institute of Minimal Access Surgery. It was established to ensure the highest standard of coaching, treatment and research in laparoscopic and advanced robotic surgery.

The World Laparoscopy Hospital continues to build global reputation as a leading destination for advanced robotic surgery training. The Robotic Research and Training Centre, established trains surgeons, gynaecologists, urologists, and paediatric surgeon from around the world in advanced robotic procedures. The training program at World Laparoscopy Hospital utilizes a surgeon-led approach; Surgeons are not only taught how to operate the surgical robot by a fellow surgeon, but also how to lead a surgical team in an environment, and through a surgical scenario, far different from what they may be accustomed to.

The expanded future of minimally invasive surgery resides in the surgeon’s ability to extend operational facility beyond direct hand contact and to reach more difficult surgical targets with greater dexterity and comfort using surgical robot. The difference between robotic operations and open or laparoscopic operations is that the attending surgeon doing the latter types of operations can completely control things by moving tissues out of the way laparoscopically or grabbing the resident’s hands during an open operation. The surgeon sitting at the console during these operations is the only one who has total control. So until the surgeon is adequately trained it is risky to perform robotic surgery on patient.

Under the direction of Dr. R.K. Mishra, this five-day Fellowship in Robotic Surgery course is designed to include live case observations with Dr. Mishra and hands-on cadaveric training for primary surgeons as well as their complete operative team. Dr. R.K. Mishra is a pioneer of new technology to aid minimally invasive procedures. His academic laparoscopic surgical career started in Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, U. K. He did his Master degree in Minimal Access Surgery (M.MAS) from United Kingdom. Prof. Mishra is among few fortunate who has been conferred degree of Master in Minimal Access Surgery by Sir James Whyte Black Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine and the most prestigious Chancellor in
