I completed my fellowship course in gynae laparoscopy under Dr. GSS Mohapatra sir at Apollo hospital, Bhubaneshwar.
Dr. Mohapatra sir is a very disciplined person and a passionate surgeon. I got to learn right from the basics to advanced laparoscopy. I got to witness a vast number of laparoscopic endometriotic surgeries; the kind of cases that are operated occasionally elsewhere were routine for us.

During the course I got to assist him in surgeries and got hands on. Sir would guide us and teach us the procedure step by step.
This course has given me confidence in laparoscopy and pelvic anatomy.
I have learnt a lot about patient care and management of various types of gynae cases.
I am grateful to the almighty for giving me this opportunity to learn from Dr. GSS Mohapatra sir, he has given me the confidence to step in the path shown by him.

Sir narrates and describes each and every steps throughout the surgery.
I was lucky enough that I got chance to assist sir in wide range of laparoscopy cases, right from the simple cystectomy and TLH to deep pelvic endometriosis and bowel shaving and adhesiolysis.
Sir always thrive for a perfect and complete surgery irrespective of the time duration or any circumstances.
From teaching the basics of laparoscopy, instruments and machines on day 1 to the steps of bladder dissection, advanced laparoscopy including ureterolysis, bowel adhesiolysis, got to learn a lot from sir.

Another great advantage of the course was the endo trainer, where we can practice and stabilize our hands and gain confidence for laparoscopy.

Also learned a lot from sir how to treat and followup infertile couples in OPD and the ipd patient care.

I did a 3 months training due to time constraint. Dr GSS Sir is a very crisp & beautiful surgeon. His work & decision making skills are unmatchable. I felt lucky to have gotten a chance to learn from him. Inspite of my less training period, Sir made sure I learn maximum from him. He starts from the basics from the very first day. I got a chance to assist him in surgeries & also got hands on. His guidance was excellent in every case. 3 months of training was a very less time but still was perfectly utilised, thanks to Sir. These 3 months weren’t just about laparoscopy but also about patient satisfaction, confidence & great communication skills.

I am Dr. Y. Divisha MS, from Andhra Pradesh. I had joined laparoscopy training course for 3 months.

Under Dr. GSS Mohapatra Sir, my learning experience was truly exceptional. It was an interactive and engaging environment where students are encouraged to ask questions and actively participate in the learning process.

Throughout the course, I had exposure to a diverse range of laparoscopic cases, including those involving Deep Pelvic Endometriosis, Chronic PID, Huge fibroid uterus, vaginoplasty, hysteroscopic septal resections, as well as complex cases with multiple previous surgeries and bowel adhesions. This exposure spanned beyond gynaecological laparoscopy, extending to surgical gynae-oncology cases.

I had assisted more than fifty cases in 3 months of my course. These experiences allowed me to familiarize myself with various instruments, energy sources and their applications, contributing to a well-rounded education in laparoscopy.

Another feature of the course was the availability of the Endotrainer, a tool that allowed me to refine my laparoscopic skills in a controlled environment. This gradual progression from simulation to real surgical cases greatly bolstered my confidence and proficiency in handling laparoscopic instruments effectively.

Everyone at the hospital were warm and welcoming and help throughout course in everyway possible.

Sir role as a mentor was pivotal. His genuine concern for his students’ success was evident through his personalized guidance and constructive feedback. His dedication to remaining at the forefront of laparoscopic advancements ensured that we received the latest knowledge and techniques in the field.

This laparoscopy fellowship not only equipped me with strong technical foundations but also instilled confidence in my abilities. It shaped my professional identity and capabilities in a positive and lasting manner.

Not only he does his surgeries very well, he trains you with much enthusiasm too. During the fellowship course he has taught us from basic to advanced anatomy of pelvis to all the tricks of doing safe & bloodless surgeries.

Sir’s enthusiasm & passion towards laparoscopy can be best seen in frozen pelvis, excision of endometriosis nodule, DIE, dissection of pararectal spaces, bowel adhesiolysis which makes him different and outstanding in comparison to other gynac lap surgeons. I have assisted in all the above mentioned cases & got hands on also. We have also learnt about machines, energy sources too. Use of manipulator in the early months to camera ,and then Hands on training with energy sources is done stepwise as you become senior which builds up a lots of confidence in ourselves.

I always used get fascinated by seeing laparoscopic gynae surgeries for which I started searching for proper training in New Delhi as well as other cities in India, but couldn’t satisfy my quench until I met Dr GSS Mohapatra. After thorough search, I decided to come down to Odisha to get trained under him. The very first day I met him, I was surprised to see his energy level and the passion with which he was doing his surgeries. What surprised me the most that I found him as energetic as his first case of the day, same in his 7th or 8th case. He tries to do absolute justice to each and every case by proper planning and execution during surgery. The best thing about him is..not only he teaches you what safe endoscopic surgery is..but also regarding machine, ergonomics, instruments, post operative management and all. I used to wonder seeing his confidence in doing surgery, I think I got my little bit of confidence in doing independent laparoscopic surgeries by seeing his confidence only. In course of 6 months, he really makes his fellows to walk laparoscopy, talk laparoscopy and dream about laparoscopy. His method of teaching is out of this world and his suturing technique is mind blowing. Finally I can say, if you plan to join Dr GSS Mohapatra, you will become his family member for lifetime and he will try to take care of you in every aspect of your life like a true mentor and guide. The best thing is, even after you complete your course, he keeps on teaching you by sending surgery videos,updating your knowledge by different different surgical tips. I think my life has got a new direction after meeting him. I wishes him all the very best in life. I really feel blessed after meeting you sir.

  • My self Dr Pragyan Dash, I have done my fellowship in laparoscopy under Dr GSS MOHAPATRA at Apollo hospital bhubaneswar. Honestly I have never given a second thought regarding this course but on the very first day I was really nervous, heard a lot about our mentor and was really excited to work with him. The very first case was a DHL and I didn’t expect much but it was a bad endometriosis with chocolate cyst. I was mesmerized by the approach, the technique, cystectomy, adhesiolysis abd the whole procedure. In those 45mins I was very sure that I took the right decision. During the span of 6months we got to see all varieties of cases like DHL, hysteroscopy, septoplasty, vaginoplasty, lap adhesiolysis, cystectomy, myomectomy, simple TLH including radical hysterectomy. He not only taught us regarding SAFE ENDOSCOPY but also regarding the instruments, energy source, pre op and pos op care, and also encourage us to practice on endotrainer. Sir has the same energy level for every case and he continued it till the end of every case. I am truely blessed to be trained under his guidance. He made laparoscopy suturing so easy that every time he did suturing, I used think even I can also do it. He is so humble, down to earth, student friendly yet an absolutely amazing surgeon. I will always remember how you used to teach us during the rounds, during every case and Even after every procedure. Every time I approach for a case , I feel as if you are telling me to follow the anatomy and go safe. Besides laparoscopy there is so much to learn from you and your way of working. I am truely truely blessed to be your student. I pray God for a healthy and prosperous life of Dr GSS sir and hope one day you will be proud of me.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

     Thank you.

  • Hello friends, Myself Dr.N.Sagarika. I was very fortunate to be in 2nd batch of gynaec laparoscopy fellowship under Dr.GSS Mohapatra Sir. He is a great teacher and an enthusiastic mentor. After passing my PG study i was wondering that how can I peruse laparoscopy training which is a must know skill for a competent gynecologist in this era of minimal invasive surgery. For a long time the thought of refusing a patient for lap surgery due to lack of my expertise, was bothering me. As fate provided, I chanced upon an information pertaining to laparoscopy fellowship course being provided by Dr.GSS Mohapatra sir. This event happened to be a crux in my career & I was destined to become the laparoscopic surgeon with the able guidance & mentorship of Dr.GSS Mohapatra sir. I was mesmerised to see how skillfully he does laparoscopic surgeries & train you with so much enthusiasm. During a surgery he explains each step of it so wonderfully that it builds a great confidence in you.Starting from basic laparoscopic instruments, ergonomics, importance of full knowledge of pelvic anatomy to various kinds of laparoscopic surgeries like TLH, difficult myomectomy, lap ectopic, surgery for complicated endometriosis, gynaec oncosurgery, fertility related surgeries, hysteroscopic procedures it was a vast exposure during this fellowship with hands on training including emphasis on “SAFE ENDOSCOPY”. After completing fellowship when I did my 1st TLH case independently & when a patient of 4yrs primary infertility conceived after DHL, it was a great experience of happiness for me. Finally I express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr.GSS Mohapatra sir for conducting such fellowship course for doctor like me who can not go outside state to pursue it. I always pray to God for sir for more & more new heights of success & achievements in future.

     Thank you sir

  • Myself Dr Anurag Tiwary belong to 6th batch of fellowship program under Dr GSS Mohapatra sir. This was mg first training outside Delhi after my graduation and postgraduation.I feel happy and satisfied to get training at Apollo Bhubaneshwar. With lots of uncertainties, anxieties and safety issues around because of COVID pandemic I was able to accomplish my course with good hands on here because of Almighty blessings, Dr GSS sirs guidance and patience my parents and Apollo staff support. As a part of my fellowship program I learned basics of laproscopy, ergonomics , instruments and energy sources, pelvic anatomy and surgical approach to difficult cases of Grade 3-4endometriosis. I assisted in huge range of cases from simple DHL, Hysteroscopic polypectomy, myomectomy, septal resection, TLH with/without manipulator and Myoma screw to difficult cases with difficult bladder dissection, Lap myomectomy in 28_34 weeks size uterus and Grade 3-4 endometriosis cases. Sir is an excellent teacher, his preparedness for cases himself, relying on your examination findings, watching and sharing related videos anticipating problems during make a fellow think and dream of laproscopy. To be more precise I was trained to live like a disciplined laproscopy surgeon during my fellowship. He would teach how difficult cases become easier by knowledge of anatomy, like ureterolysis. I got hands on DHL , Lap ectopic removal , simple TLH during last months of my training..But sirs teachings of surgical techniques, principles and anatomy definitely imbibes a confidence of performing independent surgeries in future. I have learned a lot from sir and appreciate his way of working, patient care and counselling, respecting laparoscopic surgery principles and anatomy and look forward to use in my practice too. I grateful to Almightly to bless with such good mentors like Dr GSS sir and hope such courses should continue under him to guide students like me.
