Certificate Course in Comprehensive Laproscopic Surgery (focused on Cholecystectomy and Appendicectomy)
Laparoscopic surgery has become an integral part of every surgeon’s practice. Procedures like diagnostic laparoscopy, biopsy, cholecystectomy and Appendicectomy are now a patient’s demand as also a surgeon’s preference. This is true even in the most remote parts of the world.
