Venue

Hotel Pullman, Aerocity
New Delhi

Target Audience

HPB, G.I & Liver Transplant Surgeons

Number of participants

25 - 30

Workshop Overview

Given the essential role of microsurgery in the HPB specialty, this course is specifically tailored for HPB and Liver Transplant Surgeons. It aims to introduce fundamental hand-eye-mind coordination techniques for performing micro-anastomosis and to provide hands-on training in the use of microsurgical instruments and sutures with the aid of a surgical microscope.

Learning objectives

To Improve dexterity, precision and confidence in microsuturing techniques.

Learn the correct handling of microsurgical instruments, practice with fine sutures, and perform a series of structured exercises under magnification using loupes or an operating microscope.

Build the fundamental skills necessary to succeed in a microsurgical setting.

Duration Skill Stations and Practice Activities
11 AM - 12 PM


2 PM - 3 PM (Second Batch)		 Practice suturing using intact latex glove
Participants will develop precision hand movements and needle control on a latex glove, simulating delicate tissue handling. This exercise helps reinforce fine motor coordination and basic suturing technique in a controlled setting.
12 PM - 1 PM


3 PM - 4 PM (Second Batch)		 Practice suturing using Silicone micro vessels
Simulated micro vessels made of silicone allow participants to practice vascular anastomosis and fine suturing under magnification. It mimics real-life vessel suturing challenges in liver transplant surgery.
1 PM - 2 PM


4 PM - 5 PM (Second Batch)		 Practice suturing on chicken wing vein tissue model
This realistic tissue model provides tactile feedback and simulates human vein texture, enhancing practical surgical skills.
