Description

Axilloscopy is an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique primarily used for the evaluation and management of axillary conditions, including lymph node assessment, staging in breast cancer, and other pathologies of the axilla. This innovative approach allows surgeons to visualize and operate in the axillary region with minimal trauma, reducing complications and enhancing recovery for patients. Dr. R. K. Mishra, a pioneer in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery, presents a comprehensive lecture on axilloscopy, detailing both the theoretical and practical aspects of this technique. The lecture emphasizes key points such as: Indications for Axilloscopy: Understanding when axilloscopy is preferred over conventional surgical methods. Preoperative Planning: Patient selection, imaging modalities, and preparation strategies to ensure optimal outcomes. Surgical Technique: Step-by-step guidance on port placement, instrument handling, and visualization of axillary structures. Safety and Complication Management: Strategies to minimize nerve injury, bleeding, and postoperative complications. Clinical Applications: Focus on breast cancer staging, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and other axillary pathologies. Postoperative Care and Recovery: Best practices to promote rapid healing and minimal scarring. Dr. Mishra’s lecture also includes live operative videos, case discussions, and insights from his extensive experience in minimally invasive surgery. The session is designed for surgeons, residents, and medical professionals seeking to expand their skills in axilloscopy and enhance patient outcomes. By combining expert knowledge with hands-on demonstrations, this lecture highlights the future of minimally invasive axillary surgery and its role in modern surgical practice.
