MIS a must for medical tourism- The Times of India
MIS a must for medical tourism- The Times of India: "LUCKNOW: Surgeons across the country have decided to sharpen their skills and adopt Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS) in a big way to make India the favourite destination for 'medical tourism.' In fact, the painless and scarless MIS with reduced stay in hospital is the key to success.
The state capital has become the first step in surgeons' tryst with MIS. On Sunday, a group of surgeons, under the aegis of Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo-Surgeons (IAGES), attended the day long Laprocon-2005 and assessed the current MIS scenario, especially in UP.
A local laparoscopic surgeon claimed that currently only 20 per cent patients in Lucknow and eastern UP opt for MIS in comparison to around 90 per cent in New Delhi. 'The surgical scenario would undergo a sea change within the next decade,' declared Dr MG Bhat, president of IAGES in an interview with TOI on Sunday.
Dr Bhat, governor of Society of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (SELSA) believes that after Information Technology, the country would ride high on laproscopic surgery. 'In fact, we were never behind,' he said referring to the first laparoscopic surgery performed in 1989, by Dr TE Udwadia in Mumbai. "
