Methodology: Surgeons of Quetta who attended Minimal Invasive Surgery course were included in the study. After 6 months of the course, data was collected from the surgeons. The questionnaire had closely ended selfadministered questionnaire having 15 questions regarding use of MIS in practice and possible barriers to nonimplementation. Data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. Frequency and percentages were calculated for the categorical variables. Results: Questionnaire was sent to 43 participants, 37 completed the proforma. Response rate was 86%. There were 31 male (83.8%) and 6 (16.2%) female.
