Live Surgical Demonstrations

During the workshop, Dr. Samir Pradhan was given the opportunity to perform a Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS). The demonstration included:

• Floating head extraction using forceps
• Closure of uterine incision without exteriorisation
• Non-locking suturing technique for the first uterine layer
• Baseball suturing technique for the second uterine layer

Systematic Devascularisation Techniques

The session was followed by Dr. AbdRabbo’s Systematic Devascularisation, which involved:

• Bilateral uterine artery ligation using the O’Leary technique
• Ligation of the ovarian artery near the ovarian ligament
• Preservation of the fallopian tube
• Precautions to prevent inadvertent injury to mesosalpingeal veins

Advanced Pelvic Vascular Surgery

Under the hand-held preceptorship of his mentor, Dr. Rajendra Saraogi Sir, Dr. Samir Pradhan further demonstrated the advanced procedure of Bilateral Internal Iliac Artery Ligation.

This demonstration provided critical insights into life-saving surgical techniques for managing obstetric haemorrhage, focusing on anatomical precision, surgical safety, and step-by-step execution.

Academic Significance

The workshop was highly appreciated for its real-time surgical learning, interactive mentoring, and strong academic value. Such initiatives continue to play a vital role in enhancing surgical expertise, improving patient outcomes, and fostering excellence in obstetrics and gynaecology.
