Course Convenor
Dear Esteemed Participants,
A warm and heartfelt welcome to the Minimally Invasive HPB Course. We are delighted to have you join this intensive two-day program designed to advance your skills in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. With expert-led teaching, live demonstrations, hands-on training, and interactive learning, we aim to offer a truly comprehensive educational experience..
Day 1 โ Liver & Biliary System
Our program begins with an in-depth introduction to the essential principles of liver and biliary anatomy, along with the latest insights in diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive approaches. The sessions will include:
- Overview of liver segmental anatomy and biliary tree structure
- Interpretation of imaging modalities and intraoperative decision-making
- Techniques in laparoscopic liver resections
- Minimally invasive biliary procedures, including choledocholithiasis management
- Hands-on practice with simulation modules focusing on suturing, dissection, and anatomical orientation
Day 2 โ Pancreas & Advanced HPB
The second day shifts focus to pancreatic anatomy and advanced HPB interventions, featuring detailed discussions and demonstration-based learning of:
- Pancreatic ductal anatomy and variants
- Management of acute and chronic pancreatitis
- Approaches to pseudocyst drainage and necrosectomy
- Laparoscopic and minimally invasive pancreatic procedures
- Complex HPB case-based decision-making
Faculty-Guided Learning
- Interactive lectures with key takeaways
- Case-based discussions highlighting practical challenges
- One-on-one mentoring during hands-on sessions
- Evidence-based insights into modern HPB practices
Their collective experience will ensure that each participant gains clarity, confidence, and refined skills in minimally invasive HPB surgery.
We look forward to two days of enriching learning, meaningful interaction, and valuable skill-building. We are confident that the knowledge and practical expertise you acquire here will significantly enhance your surgical practice and contribute to improved patient outcomes.
Warm regards,
Dr.Senthilnathan Pย & Dr.๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ท ๐
Learning Outcomes
Understand HPB Surgical Anatomy: Describe the surgical anatomy of the liver, pancreas, biliary system, and their clinical relevance in operative procedures.
Identify Surgical Indications: Understand the indications, contraindications, and patient-selection criteria for minimally invasive hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.
Improve Preoperative Planning: Interpret relevant imaging, assess disease extent, and understand preoperative evaluation and operative planning for HPB procedures.
Understand Minimally Invasive Techniques: Gain knowledge of laparoscopic and other minimally invasive approaches to selected liver, biliary, and pancreatic procedures.
Develop Technical Skills: Enhance familiarity with surgical instruments, tissue handling, dissection techniques, haemostasis, and suturing principles relevant to HPB surgery, according to the course format.
Recognise Critical Anatomical Structures: Understand safe dissection principles and the identification and preservation of important vascular and biliary structures.
Anticipate and Manage Complications: Recognise potential intraoperative and postoperative complications and understand strategies for their prevention, early detection, and management.
Apply Evidence-Based Decision-Making: Discuss appropriate surgical approaches and treatment strategies using clinical case scenarios and current surgical principles.
Understand Perioperative Care: Describe the principles of postoperative monitoring, complication management, and recovery following HPB surgery.
Promote Patient Safety: Apply principles of safe surgical practice, teamwork, and structured operative planning in minimally invasive HPB procedures
Who Should Take This Course ?
- Practicing Surgeons, Post Graduate Students with MS (General Surgery), MCh (GI Surgery), DNB (General Surgery/GI/MAS surgery) and others who want to sharpen their skills and knowledge in the field of bariatry.
