Minimal Access Surgery, also known as Keyhole surgery, is the order of the day in many specialties of Surgery. The main advantages of this type of surgery are avoidance of big scars with better cosmetic value, minimal post-operative pain and minimal hospitalization. Minimal Access Surgery technique is also followed in gynecology.

It was an interesting workshop keeping in view the basics and the advanced techniques in Laparoscopic surgery in Gynecology. 367 delegates attended this workshop from all over the country. The faculty is chosen from the active centers in various parts of the country who demonstrated various surgical techniques in gynecology. The faculty performed over 18 operations both days together.

The surgical procedures were performed in the operating rooms of Care Hospital, in Banjara Hills and were transmitted live to the Venue - Taj Residency Hotel. The afternoon sessions on both the days included the symposia covering almost twelve subjects in Gynea Laparoscopic surgery with good interactive sessions.
