Even in a virtual environment, the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons delivers without a “glitch”
Earlier this year, I was honored to serve as the Scientific Program Chair for the 46th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS). This year’s meeting was the first ever (and hopefully last) “virtual” scientific meeting, which consisted of a hybrid of prerecorded and live presentations. Although faculty and attendees were not able to be together physically, the essence of the lively SGS meetings came through loud and clear. We still had “discussants” comment on the oral presentations and ask questions of the presenters. These questions and answers were all done live—without a glitch! Many thanks to all who made this meeting possible.
In addition to the outstanding abstract and video presentations, there were 4 superb postgraduate courses:
- Mikio Nihira, MD, chaired “Enhanced recovery after surgery: Overcoming barriers to implementation.”
- Charles Hanes, MD, headed up “It’s all about the apex: The key to successful POP surgery.”
- Cara King, DO, MS, led “Total laparoscopic hysterectomy: Pushing the envelope.”
- Vincent Lucente, MD, chaired “Transvaginal reconstructive pelvic surgery using graft augmentation post-FDA.”
Many special thanks to Dr. Lucente who transformed his course into a wonderful article for this special section of
One of our exceptional keynote speakers was Marc Beer (a serial entrepreneur and cofounder, chairman, and CEO of Renovia, Inc.), whose talk was entitled “A primer on medical device innovation—How to avoid common pitfalls while realizing your vision.” Mr. Beer has turned this topic into a unique article for this special section (see next month’s issue for Part 2).
Our TeLinde Lecture, entitled “Artificial intelligence in surgery,” was delivered by the dynamic Vicente Gracias, MD, professor of surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, New Jersey. We also held 2 live panel discussions that were very popular. The first, “Work-life balance and gynecologic surgery,” featured various perspectives from Drs. Kristie Green, Sally Huber, Catherine Matthews, and Charles Rardin. The second panel discussion, entitled “Understanding, managing, and benefiting from your e-presence,” by experts Heather Schueppert; Chief Marketing Officer at Unified Physician Management, Brad Bowman, MD; and Peter Lotze, MD. Both of these panel discussions are included in this special section as well.

The Clinical Conundrum in Managing Preterm Birth: Balancing Historical Trial Results, Society Guidelines, and Clinical Experience with a Contradictory Trial Outcome
Since its approval in 2011, 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC, trade name Makena®, AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc, Waltham, MA) has been designated the “standard of care “ for treating pregnant patients with a history of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM), and the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM). Several clinical trials and years of clinical experience have demonstrated its safety and efficacy.
This CME supplement details results of the PROLONG (Progestin’s Role in Optimizing Neonatal Gestation) trial evaluating 17-OHPC in patients with a history of a prior spontaneous singleton preterm delivery.
