FOREWORD

Dear colleagues,
Once a year ISGE summons highly educated specialists from all over the world, allowing us to show the final check of high technology, and letting us adjust to the tuning of gynecological endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery.
This volume contains official records of the “XV Annual Congress of the International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy” that was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 29th - April 1st 2006, under the main theme “Setting up new trends in gynecological endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery”.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the International and National Scientific Committees for their invaluable cooperation towards the organization of a magnificent scientific program of a high academic level. A special acknowledgement to the authors for their intelectual generosity and effort to provide us with papers of such hierarchy.

Roberto J. Sainz, Peter Maher, Harry Reich
