O🌍 World’s First Hybrid Endoscopic-Microscopic ENT Skill Lab Inaugurated at DYP Medical College, Pune

India Leads Global Innovation in ENT Surgical Training with US-Patented EndoHold System

Pune, July 20, 2025 – A revolutionary leap in surgical education unfolded in Pune as Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Pimpri, proudly inaugurated the world’s first Hybrid Endoscopic & Microscopic ENT Skill Lab – the EndoPlay Skill Lab – equipped with the US-patented EndoHold system for two-handed endoscopic surgery. This milestone was marked by the successful completion of the first-ever Hybrid Temporal Bone Dissection Workshop, training 20 select ENT surgeons and postgraduates from across India.

This pioneering initiative was made possible by the visionary leadership of Dr. P. D. Patil, Chancellor; Dr. Bhagyashree Patil, Pro-Chancellor; and Dr. Yashraj Patil, Trustee & Treasurer of Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pimpri. Their foresight and unwavering support transformed this innovative concept into a state-of-the-art surgical training facility for the Department of ENT & Head-Neck Surgery.

The EndoPlay Skill Lab is a fully integrated cadaveric dissection unit that bridges the gap between traditional microscopy and modern two-handed endoscopic techniques. At its core lies the EndoHold system — a globally patented innovation developed by Dr. Mubarak Muhamed Khan, Dr. Sapna Parab, and Dr. Shirin Khan. The lab also houses over 15 additional surgical innovations from Dr. Khan’s Creations, offering an unparalleled hands-on experience in otologic and neuro-otologic surgery.

The lab was inaugurated by Dr. Yashraj Patil in the presence of Dr. Rekha A., Dean of the medical college. The success of the first workshop owes much to the leadership of Prof. & HOD Dr. Mayur Ingale, and national faculties including Prof. Shashikant Mhashal (HBT Medical College, Mumbai), Prof. Vinod Shinde (DYP Medical College), Dr. Kinnari Rathod and Dr. Rizwan Memon (Ahmedabad).

Upcoming Global Platform: SEOCON 25

The EndoPlay Skill Lab will now serve as the dissection hub for the upcoming International ENT Conference – SEOCON 2025, scheduled from 11–14 September at DYP Medical College. Surgeons from across the globe will have an opportunity to witness and experience this cutting-edge hybrid training ecosystem.

“This skill lab is not just an infrastructure; it is a visionary step that will pave the way for global excellence in ENT surgical training. We are proud that DYP Medical College is leading this transformation.”

— Dr. Yashraj Patil, Trustee & Treasurer, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pimpri

As ENT surgery evolves into the era of minimal access and advanced reconstruction, the establishment of the EndoPlay Hybrid Skill Lab in Pune signals India’s leadership in training the next generation of otologic surgeons with precision, innovation, and global standards.
