Hi My Friends, Colleagues & Mentors,

The conference aims to improve general surgeons’ skills in Laparoscopy, Endoscopy, Proctology and LASER Procedures with hands-on training on the wet tissues, live surgical demonstrations, animal lab and dry lab. Our motto is to impart knowledge of the extent of laparoscopic surgery to general surgeons, GI surgeons, urologists and gynaecologists so that even the poorer patients get the benefit of pain-free and highly effective surgical procedure. The conference provides effective, pain-free surgeries at low cost to patients of lower socio-economic strata. So we welcome you all to the Yenepoya University, Mangalore.
