Tejnaksh Healthcare

World Class Healthcare

Innovators Thoughts

Tejnaksh Healthcare is into Urology and healthcare training since 2009. As we trained urologists at our institute we realised that there is a dearth of basic technique learning facilities for the doctors and healthcare professionals. The simulation technology available in the west is financially beyond our reach. Hence we decided to setup our own simulation programs. I have always believed that making a wholesome simulator would be a herculian task, and hence to bring simulation within our reach, we need to break down a surgery into various steps, and develop a simulator for each surgical step. Thus we need to build microsimulators for basic skill training and then integrate these into a complete simulation program. Today we have our own patented 5 simulator prototypes and 13 stations. These are being used at the Tejnaksh simulation lab. We look forward to add another 5 protyped ideas by the end of 2017.

Today we look forward to increase the gyrus of our simulation programs and simulators and take India to a new level in healthcare simulation.

1. TEJNAKSH’S FLUOROSCOPY FREE PCNL SIMULATOR

Learn the position of the pelvicalyceal system in the retroperitoneum

Learn how to identify the posterior calyx

Familiarize with the initial puncture needle and the C-arm

Learn the popular techniques of percutaneous renal access

Learn your basic mistakes and correct them in a relaxed non operation theater environment

Practice to perfection without radiation  !!!

2.TEJNAKSH’S FLUOROSCOPY GUIDED PCNL SIMULATOR

Go to the actual operating  theater and use the actual PCNL surgical instruments and the C-arm on a mannequin.

Use the lowest possible setting on the C-arm – decreasing radiation hazards

Experience the actual haptics and tactile sensations of the initial puncture

Practice the percutaneous renal access techniques

The teacher will not take over the case if you go wrong !!! But would help you master the techniques…
