FOREWORD

 

The 16th Annual Congress of International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy (ISGE) jointed with 8th Annual Congress of the Asian Pacific Association of Gynecologic Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Therapy (APAGE) and the 47th Annual congress of Japan Society of Gynecological & Obstetrical Endoscopy (JSGOE, Congress President was Prof. Fumitaka Saji) was held by the Sponsor of JSGOE, at Osaka International Convention Center in cherry blossom season of early spring. Moreover, It is really honor not only for me but also for Japan Society of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy, because it is the first time that ISGE come to JAPAN.

In recent years, the demand for gynecological endoscopy, and particularly for endoscopic surgery, has been increasing very rapidly. I believe that this meeting offers us a unique opportunity to view and to learn about the latest research and technological developments in gynecologic endoscopy. This year’s slogan, "Safety, Simplicity, Standardization", was particularly pertinent against the background of an ever-increasing importance attached to endoscopy. With this slogan as its overriding theme, our meeting this week incorporates a wide range of interesting presentations and exhibitions. Actually this congress was consisted of 7 special talks, 10 symposiums consisted by 52 speakers, 63 free communications, 113 poster presentations, 6 Luncheon Seminars, and more than 579 registrations from many countries.

I appreciate to my old friend and Honorary Secretary of Professor Victor Gomel, President of Dr. Harry Rich, Vice President and Chairperson of Scientific Committee Dr. Peter Maher, many invited speakers, Board Members and all of participants..

We acknowledge Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacture’s Association, The Uehara Memorial Foundation, Alumni Association of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tohoku University School of Medicine and Kinki University for their financial supports.
