WEDNESDAY, 4/3/2019. DAY 4 OF SGS.
Sadly, the annual Society of Gynecologic Surgeons meeting is wrapping up, and we will soon be leaving sunny Tucson! The last morning of conference proceedings was jam-packed with more outstanding oral and video presentations. We heard about topics such as the burden of postoperative catheterization, dietary patterns associated with postoperative defecatory symptoms, and more surgical tips and tricks to take back to our own institutions. At the end of the morning, the Distinguished Surgeon award was presented to the talented and deserving J. Marion Sims Endowed Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UAB Medicine in Birmingham Dr. Holly E. Richter. The SGS Presidential Gavel was then passed from current SGS President Dr. Rajiv Gala to the incoming 46th President Dr. Peter Rosenblatt, Director of the Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery Division at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
#SGS2019 was an amazingly successful conference! Beautiful surroundings, emerging science and education, and respectful inquiry was plentiful. I enjoyed all of the networking, reconnecting, and relaxing, and could not ask for a better community of GYN surgeons to have shared this with. I can’t wait to return to Pittsburgh to implement all the new things that I have learned. Thanks to the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons, OBG MANAGEMENT, and all the sponsors of the Fellows Scholar Program for supporting each of the scholars and this blog!
If you were at all intrigued by the happenings reported here, please consider attending the SGS meeting in 2020! The conference will be located in Jacksonville, Florida! See you there!
Thanks for following along! #SGS2019 out.
