Held on September 25 and 26, this was the world’s first officially declared hands-on endometriosis training program.
The participating doctors engaged in advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques and performed 17 highly complex surgeries in two days. These included four resection and anastomosis procedures, one ureter repair in an endometriosis case, and 12 deep infiltrating endometriosis surgeries. The initiative of the workshop was Grade 4 endometriosis surgery with bowel resection and anastomosis, an intricate and critical procedure pioneered by Dr. Dipak Limbachiya.
“All the patients have been discharged and are doing very well. We are thankful to each one of them for this opportunity to serve them and express gratitude to the participating doctors for their service,” said Dr. Limbachiya.
The workshop featured 4 selected doctors, including one international participant and participants from different parts of India. The workshop’s goal was to equip surgeons from different places with the skills to operate on Endometriosis using advanced techniques. “I believe this type of hands-on training can greatly enhance the expertise in managing a challenging condition like endometriosis,” said Dr. Limbachiya.

“Training the next generation of laparoscopic surgeons is a commitment I hold close to my heart. It is immensely satisfying to watch fellow doctors learn about the newest advances in laparoscopy and improve their surgical skills, enabling them to provide enhanced care to their patients. I am committed to sharing the expertise I have gained over the years with fellow medical practitioners,” Dr. Limbachiya added.
The two-day workshop provided an opportunity for the participating doctors to gain valuable hands-on experience in the management of various grades of Endometriosis, with a focus on standardised surgical approaches.
