Doctors to learn surgery hands on

MUMBAI: An operation theatre will no more be the place where a doctor performs a surgery for the first time. Civicrun Nair Hospital has become the first public hospital to have a clinical skills laboratory, where medical students will be able to practise surgery moves on cadavers before trying them on patients.

Clinical skills labs are still uncommon in the West, let alone India. According to doctors, medical students get the feel of human tissues for the first time only when they operate upon a patient, before that they are only allowed to watch the surgery or assist the surgeon.

Dr Amresh Baliarsing, head of plastic surgery department at Nair Hospital, under whom the lab is to be managed, said the lab will have a deep freezing system attached, wherein legalized cadaveric bodies will be preserved. "These bodies will be kept at -24 degrees Celsius, so that they can be preserved. Otherwise, the bodies are injected with formalin, because of which they become hard. But, in this case, the body tissues will remain soft and students will get the exact feel of a live surgery—only without blood."

The laboratory—funded by Gulabchand Foundation, a charitable trust— was inaugurated on Saturday. The lab is complete with an operation table , microscopes and lights with an in-built camera, which will transmit the surgery to students outside the lab too. "We held the first demonstration today. By December, we will start holding workshops, which will benefit students even outside our college," said Dr Uday Bhat, associate professor of plastic surgery.

The bodies will be procured in a legalized way, said Dr Bhat. "Many bodies are donated , but several are not claimed for over a month. With permission , we can use these unclaimed bodies, which we will dispose of or return to the state."
