Is Solace Training Academy good for basic laparoscopy training?

Yes. The Basic Laparoscopic Surgery program is designed for MS/DNB surgeons who want to build foundational laparoscopic skills. Training combines simulation and skills practice, faculty demonstration and supervised OT exposure where applicable. Participation in patient care depends on institutional policy, patient consent, trainee eligibility, clinical availability and faculty supervision.

Do you train in bariatric surgery?

Yes. The Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery Orientation program covers the principles, patient selection, and technique for laparoscopic bariatric procedures, led by Dr. Vikrant Sharma (Fellowship in Revision Bariatric Surgery, Belgium).
