Doctors from England too got the experience of the skills of these doctors. International Thyroid Surgical Workshop is organized annually by Nagpur-based Head and Neck Foundation, Indian Society of Thyroid Surgeons and Rotary Nagpur South. The tradition is being carried forward since 27 years. The workshop of this year was cast live at three locations.

This anesthesia allows to carry out thyroidectomy when patient is awake. Dr. Vidula Kapre performed it live. Dr. Devendra Mahore, Dr. Rajendra Deshmukh and Dr. Neeti Kapre took great efforts within the operation theatre so that surgeries are done smoothly. Dr. Tulsidas Bhilavekar took the after-care of all the patients and gave them the post-operative instructions.
