First-ever ESG Hands-on Training Course in India
A first-ever ESG hands-on training course was organized by Enliten at Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics center located in Indore, from 22nd to 24th January 2020. It was a three days course and 30 surgeons from around the world actively participated in it. The training to them was given by Dr. Mohit Bhandari, Dr. Amit Maydeo and Dr. Mathias A. Fobi.
What is ESG?
ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty) was introduced first time in India by Dr. Mohit Bhandari in 2017. It utilizes an endoscope (a tube with a camera appended which is inserted orally down a patient’s throat) rather than making incisions to perform the surgery. ESG works by dividing the stomach into a gradually emptying upper part and a normally working lower part. This reduces the gastric volume of the stomach by up to 70–80% as well as alter the way that the stomach functions. ESG avoids the removal of the stomach. Often patients can leave the hospital on the same day after the completion of the ESG procedure. Dr. Mohit Bhandari has performed 200+ procedures until now.
This workshop was organized with an objective to spread the knowledge of this new technique and to help the fraternity grow in the new dimensions. It was first of its kind course and all the surgeons liked the teaching methodology and hands-on experience. The way Dr. Mohit Bhandari and Dr. Amit Maydeo introduced the equipment, explained their usage and solved the queries related to intricacies involved in the surgery was commendable. The surgeons (trainees) received hands-on training in dry lab and watched live surgeries, observing and grasping all the minutiae details. The surgeons got to know about the issues that can arise during live surgery. Certificates were also given to all the surgeons who participated in this esteemed workshop.
Dr. Mohit Bhandari aims to take ESG procedure to the next level worldwide. If you too want to join hands-on course in ESG, drop your information and we will connect with you when the next workshop is announced. Visit – getenliten.com/contact-us
