Vascular Anastomosis Hands-on Workshop

Jan 31, 2026

The Vascular Anastomosis Workshop, organised by Incīsiō, the Undergraduate General Surgery Club of KSHEMA, was held on 31st January 2026 at the NUMedsim Skills Lab, II Floor, Justice K S Hegde Charitable Hospital. The session was conducted by Dr. Anup HS with assistance from Dr. K. Rahul Shenoy.

Designed for 20 undergraduate students from the 2021 & 2022 MBBS batches who had prior training in basic suturing and knot tying, the workshop aimed to build advanced skills in vascular suturing. The session began with a comprehensive overview of vascular anastomosis, including its types, indications, contraindications, complications and step-by-step technique. Participants were then divided into two groups and trained using simulated blood vessels made from canvas sheets, allowing them to practice vessel handling and precise suture placement in a controlled environment. Each student performed the procedure under close supervision, with additional guidance from trained club members. The interactive, hands-on format enabled participants to develop confidence and technical proficiency, supported by continuous feedback. The workshop concluded with a felicitation of Dr. Anup HS and a discussion session, with participants expressing high satisfaction and interest in future skill-based training.
