What inspired you to specialize in general surgery and develop a particular interest in laparoscopic surgery?

After completing my MBBS, I excelled in the PG entrance test and had the opportunity to choose any specialty for comfortable life and good earnings. However, I was inspired by my passion for surgery during my housejob period. A senior surgeon recognized my excellent handeye coordination and surgical skills, advising me to pursue a career in surgery. I heeded his advice and pursued MS in General Surgery, clearing the exam in 1995. To gain practical experience, I joined Beas Charitable Hospital under the guidance of renowned surgeon Dr. B.S. Tung. Over the course of several years, I performed a wide range of open surgeries, gaining confidence and independence. In 1999, I embraced the emerging field of laparoscopic surgery, conducting successful cases using the latest instruments. This shift represented a new challenge that allowed me to explore and thrive personally and professionally. With the blessings of my parents and the guidance of Dr. B.S. Tung, I achieved proficiency in laparoscopic surgery, marking a significant milestone in my career.
