Speaking on this occasion, Principal Professor Dr Anjum Habib Vohra said that there is a dire need of getting skill in latest and ultra modern techniques so that Pakistani doctors could compete the world. He said that the use of Laparoscopic surgery is increasing in the country as Laproscopic techniques allowed surgery to be performed with fewer traumas to patients and minimal damage to body tissues.
Professor Dr Muhammad Aslam said that it was the duty of the doctors to educate the patients about the importance of Laproscopic surgery. Highlighting the Laproscopic surgery Professor Dr Shamsa Humayun said that this surgery is performed using an instrument called a laparoscope, a thin, lighted telescope that is inserted through a tiny incision made in the navel.
