WELCOME FROMTHE PRESIDENTWelcome to the great state of Texas for the 37th Annual Meeting of the Societyof Gynecologic Surgeons! Doug Hale and the program committee have puttogether a wonderful schedule of events with many opportunities to learn from,share with and enjoy your colleagues. The educational program this year hasbeen expanded to include optional educational activities in the afternoon. I wouldlike to highlight several activities in the program:On Sunday, before the scientific program begins, there is an outstandingpostgraduate course - Advanced Vaginal Surgery Techniques for the Specialist –taught by a faculty of expert vaginal surgeons including Drs. Mark Walters, CindyAmundsen, Holly Richter and John Gebhart. Additionally, the Society ofGynecologic Surgeons Systematic Review Group (SRG), meets on Sunday tocontinue its work in reviewing the gynecologic surgery literature and producingpractice guidelines for the members of our Society.ii
The official scientific program begins on Monday. As President, I had thepleasure of inviting Dr. Alan Guttmacher to be this years TeLinde lecturer. Dr.Guttmacher is Director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of ChildHealth and Human Development and will speak on “A Genomicist’s Vision for thefuture of Gynecologic Research and Practice”. On Monday afternoon, Dr.Guttmacher will participate in a dialogue with SGS members and guestsregarding the future of pelvic floor research.During the meeting, Dr. Hale has planned a series of debates that promise to beboth informative and fun. Topics include, “Uterine Preservation or Removal at theTime of Prolapse Surgery”, “Ovarian Preservation or Removal at the Time ofPeri- or Post-menopausal Hysterectomy”, and “Robotic or Straight StickLaparoscopy for Minimally Invasive Pelvic Surgery”. Throughout the scientificprogram, surgical and educational videos will be shown. Due to the high qualityand quantity of video submissions this year, there will be an optional videofest onMonday and Tuesday afternoon.Tuesday morning there will be thirteen roundtable discussions including relevanttopics such as mesh complications, fistula evaluation and management,laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, robotic surgery, and coding and reimbursement.The roundtable discussions are very popular and provide an opportunity tointeract directly with experts. Also on Tuesday, Dr. Christopher Beard, Chair ofVertebrate Paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History will give athought-provoking lecture on the evolution of the pelvis entitled, “The ObstetricDilemma of Human Evolution.”New to the SGS program this year are an educational breakfast symposium onMonday morning and a dinner symposium on Tuesday. It is hoped that theaddition of these symposiums, as well as the optional educational activities in theafternoons, will provide attendees more opportunities for learning and interactionwith colleagues.Socially, we have planned a number of fun activities for members and guestsincluding the traditional Golf Tournament on Monday. The San Antonio Fiestaoccurs during our meeting and the annual fiesta river parade on Monday eveningpromises to be a good time for all! I also encourage you to explore the Riverwalkand take in some Texas history by visiting the nearby Alamo.The Society of Gynecologic Surgeons is growing as more gynecologic surgeonsrecognize the important role that our Society plays in education and research. Ifyou are a member, reach out to the many guests who are here this year. And ifyou are not yet a member, be sure to meet as many members as you can andconsider submitting an application for membership. The guidelines can be foundon the Society’s web page at www.sgsonline.org.I hope to have an opportunity to visit with each of you personally at some pointduring the meeting. Enjoy the scholarly and social interactions offered this year.With all best wishes,Joseph Schaffer, MDiii
