Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States

If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States

If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

35th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F. Baden, reviewed their benign gynecologic surgery, especially vaginal reparative procedures, and found them totally unacceptable. If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

35th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F. Baden, reviewed their benign gynecologic surgery, especially vaginal reparative procedures, and found them totally unacceptable. If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F.

If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F.

If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

35th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F. Baden, reviewed their benign gynecologic surgery, especially vaginal reparative procedures, and found them totally unacceptable. If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

35th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F. Baden, reviewed their benign gynecologic surgery, especially vaginal reparative procedures, and found them totally unacceptable. If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F.

If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States

If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.

35th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons

Mar 30-Apr 1, 2009 at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel , New Orleans Louisiana United States
The conception of the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS) began in the mid-sixties when two obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. W. Byron Inmon and Dr. Wayne F. Baden, reviewed their benign gynecologic surgery, especially vaginal reparative procedures, and found them totally unacceptable. If the traditional training of these two Board certified, experienced gynecologists had failed them, then they were perpetuating these same deficiencies to those they trained. The gap between training and acceptable results was the "common interest" --- the conception --- that joined these two, then more and more gynecologists, together, first as a Study Group, then as District VII and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Special Interest Groups, next as the Vaginal Surgeons Society, and eventually, as the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons.
