What is laparoscopic training?
Laparoscopic training teaches doctors to operate through small keyhole incisions using a camera and long instruments. A good programme moves in stages: theory first, then suturing and knot-tying in a dry lab, then tissue handling in a wet lab, then assisting and operating in a live OT under supervision. Each stage builds the hand-eye coordination and depth perception that open surgery does not train.

Days 1–14, online
Recorded lectures and live sessions on laparoscopic anatomy, instruments, energy devices, port placement, pneumoperitoneum and complications.
Dry lab
Daily practice on trainer boxes, from basic hand-eye coordination to intracorporeal suturing and knot-tying.
Wet lab
Tissue handling, dissection and suturing on tissue models before you touch a patient.
Live OT
You observe, assist and, where appropriate, perform steps of procedures under direct faculty supervision.
Assessment and certification
Skills are assessed before you receive the Fellowship and Diploma certificates.
Who teaches the course?
The faculty are senior surgeons with decades of teaching experience, many from AIIMS New Delhi.
Why train in hands-on laparoscopy rather than online only?
Laparoscopic skill is motor skill. Videos teach the steps, but only repeated practice builds the camera control, two-handed coordination and suturing speed that safe surgery needs. That is why The Medicity keeps OT sessions small, at up to 6 doctors, so every trainee gets time at the instruments.
