JAMSHEDPUR – The neurosurgery department of Tata Main Hospital organized a continuing medical education programme and hands-on workshop on advanced neurovascular treatment.
The session, titled “Endovascular Management of Neurovascular Pathologies: A Practical Approach,” brought together doctors from multiple medical specialities. Participants discussed recent advances in treating complex neurovascular diseases through minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Vineeta Singh, general manager of medical services at TMH, inaugurated the programme. Besides her, several senior officials attended the event.
Those present included Dr. Ashok Sundar, chief of medical indoor services, and Dr. Mamta Rath Dutta, chief of medical support services. Dr. Jeevesh Malik, head of the neurosurgery department, was also among the attendees, along with other department heads, senior doctors, faculty members and healthcare staff.
Dr. Piyush Tomar, a well-known neuro-intervention specialist from New Delhi, served as the keynote speaker. Through lectures and practical demonstrations, he gave participants a detailed understanding of endovascular techniques and modern treatment methods.
He shed light on the growing role of endovascular procedures in treating serious brain blood vessel conditions. These included intracranial aneurysms, acute ischemic stroke, arteriovenous malformations, and dural and spinal arteriovenous fistulas.
Experts said timely diagnosis, prompt referral, coordination among specialists and evidence-based treatment could together ensure better outcomes for such patients.
During the hands-on workshop, participants received practical exposure to various endovascular devices, catheters and guidewires. They were also trained in procedure planning and simulation-based learning.
This hands-on component gave doctors an opportunity to develop a better understanding of modern neuro-interventional techniques. Meanwhile, the event saw enthusiastic participation from the medical community.
More than 70 doctors attended the CME programme, while 40 doctors took part in the hands-on workshop and received practical training from experts.
TMH management said such academic programmes were part of the hospital’s continued efforts to promote medical education. It added that the initiative also aimed to strengthen knowledge exchange among specialists and pave the way for advanced endovascular neuro-interventional services in the future.
TMH has periodically hosted specialized medical upgrades and training sessions in the past, including the unveiling of an advanced mammography machine. Similarly, the hospital has been noted for its response during emergencies, with officials having visited TMH following a fatal accident to assure quality medical care.
Workshops and skill-building sessions have also been organized elsewhere in the city on other subjects, such as one where a university held a workshop on quality publishing. In addition, labour rights awareness has been the focus of similar academic gatherings, including a workshop on laborers’ rights held in the city.
