There are about 40,000 gynecologists in the country, but only a fraction of them know how to conduct endoscopy on patients. Our objective is to train more and more women gynecologists in this procedure due to the immense benefits keyhole surgeries offer to patients.”
Said Dr. Vidya V Bhat, Organizing Chairperson, Eve Endoscopy and Medical Director, RadhaKrishna Multispecialty Hospital, Bengaluru: “More than 16 best women endoscopy surgeons from all over India conducted various kinds of surgery at the event for the benefit of participants, which will also be broadcast live. Endoscopy has a long learning curve, and it takes a while to master this technique. Keeping this in mind, the conference has skill enhancement sessions on all three days. Our purpose is to encourage and promote more and more women endoscopic surgeons in India, as most gynecologists in the country are women.”
Dr. Vidya V Bhat added: “The Conference addressed endoscopic or minimally invasive procedures as the future of surgery. Endoscopy is a landmark in women’s health as it leads to faster recovery, no scar and less duration of hospital stay. It is a boon to working women who cannot be absent from work for long. The Eve Endoscopy conference is showcasing new endoscopic technologies for women’s health and the latest equipment available.”
