Flap surgeries are usually done by plastic surgeons to repair wounds following trauma and removal of cancer. Brachial plexus surgery is done to correct the paralysis of hands that results from road traffic accidents and sometimes from injury to the newborn during childbirth.
Puducherry: The departments of Plastic Surgery and Anatomy at JIPMER jointly organized a two-day cadaveric surgical skill training workshop on Flap surgeries, Brachial plexus surgery, and Microsurgery on 7th and 8th of March 2020. Forty surgeons from all over India attended the program, and it was also telecast live as a part of the telemedicine program of JIPMER.

Expert faculty from JIPMER, PIMS, SMVMCH, MGMCRI, Pondicherry, and KMCH, Coimbatore trained the participants of the workshop in intricate surgical skills. The participants received hands-on training on individual bodies allotted to them.
