Report from Thai Society for Gynecologic Endoscopists (TSGE) to the ISGE

By: Kobchitt Limpaphayom, M.D.

The Thai Society for Gynecologic Endoscopists was established two years ago, under the patronage of the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Our first President is Kobchitt Limpaphayom M.D., who has had her training from Albany Medical College and The Johns Hopkins Hospital. She is at present nominated to be one of the Executive Board Committee representatives from Asia for the International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopists ISGE.

Eight Thai gynecologic endoscopists attended the recent congress of ISGE in Montreal. We really enjoy our memorable time in Montreal. After just three days in the Congress, we are not only inspired by one of the best cities in the world to live in, but also harvest a great benefit in the most up to date scientific knowledge in endoscopy. The scientific forum is a world class gathering and meeting of the world pioneers, authorities and leader visionaries in technique and experience in Gynecologic Endoscopy. The controversial aspects and fast dynamic change in development of laparoscopy were contributed by many world-renown leaders,experts and experienced guest speakers. All participants have access to exchange and participated in discussing all the subjects.

It is our great honor to announce that we will be the HOST country for the Regional ISGE congress in the year 2002. It will be held in Bangkok Thailand "The Land of Smile ". We are working on the preparation and would like to invite you to participate in the regional congress in the year 2002. TSGE will welcome you all with our renowned warm hospitality and offer you incomparable knowledge and an interesting scientific program. See you all in the year 2002.
