Cuban Achievements in Surgery Stressed in Chile

Havana, Nov 22 (acn) Participants at the 15th Latin American Surgery 
Congress held in Santiago de Chile praised the progress of Cuba in the 
development of minimally invasive surgery.

Cuban surgeon Alejandro Garcia Gutierrez, a professor at Institute of 
Gastroenterology in Havana, said the successful implementation of this 
technique by Cuba in its fourteen provinces was highlighted at the 
scientific event.

Garcia Gutierrez referred to the advantages of minimal invasive surgery 
and noted that some 40,000 operations are carried out annually in the 
island using this method.

According to the expert, some of the benefits of minimal invasive 
surgery include smaller scars, less post operative pain and quicker 
recovery.

The 15th Latin American Surgery Congress, which took place from 
November 18 to 22, was attended by over 700 surgeons from the region.
