Listen now to the second episode of a two-part interview where Dr. Steven Lindheim chats with Dr. Camran Nezhat, a pioneer of video surgery, which continues to replace old techniques for open surgery and laparotomy.

Camran Nezhat M.D., FACOG, FACS, is a minimally invasive and robotic surgeon specializing in treating endometriosis. Dr. Nezhat is recipient of AMA’s highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award for meritorious service in the science and art of medicine for the year 2020. Dr. Nezhat was chosen by the AMA as an exceptional innovator and trailblazer whose significant contributions have revolutionized modern day surgery. "[Dr. Nezhat] is aptly named, 'the father of modern operative laparoscopy'. He is best known for inventing video-assisted endoscopy and was the first to perform groundbreaking advances in minimally invasive surgical procedures that have helped millions of patients around the globe." said 2020 AMA President Susan R. Bailey M.D.

Camran Nezhat, M.D. has been called the father of modern-day surgery for inventing and pioneering video-assisted endoscopic surgery, which to this day, continues to replace old techniques of open surgery. His developments have revolutionized surgery and gradually replaced laparotomy. He and his team were the first to perform many of the most advanced laparoscopic surgical procedures with and without robotic-arm assistance. Early on he advocated and proved that the majority of the open procedures of the time could be performed via video-laparoscopy. By doing so, he opened the door for surgeons all over the world to advance the field of minimally invasive surgery and help their patients. As the original proponent for minimally invasive surgery, he has declared that wherever in the body a cavity exists or can be created minimally invasive surgery is possible and probably preferable. In the 1990’s he collaborated with robotic pioneers Ajit Shah and Phil Green on development of the daVinci Robot and has innovated many of its applications.

In 2014, Camran Nezhat in collaboration with SLS, started the first “Endometriosis Specialist” Subspecialty in Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery Fellowship, embracing a multidisciplinary approach. He is the Founder of Worldwide EndoMarch, a global grassroots movement with the mission of raising awareness about endometriosis and finding noninvasive diagnostic testing, and ultimately, prevention and treatment. More than sixty countries are involved in this movement. He is the recipient of many awards. He has been involved in research, teaching, innovating and philanthropic activities while in private practice throughout his professional life. His biggest love is to take care of his patients.

Listen now to the second episode of a two-part interview where Dr. John Petrozza chats with Dr. Jacques Donnez who has carved out a niche in the field of reproductive medicine not only as an astute researcher but also as a surgeon.

Join ASRM Today for a special 14-episode bonus series about surgical legends, "On the Shoulders of Giants: Perspectives in Minimally Invasive Reproductive Surgery". Crafted by the Society of Reproductive Surgeons, each episode will be an in-depth interview with a distinguished pioneer of reproductive surgery. Sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy what we think are valuable lessons about our history, sparking innovation, and newer applications of reproductive surgery.

Jacques Donnez, M.D. was born in Tournai (Belgium) on 16 July, 1947. He studied at the Catholic University of Louvain and defended his PhD thesis in 1984, entitled “The fallopian tube: normal and pathological histophysiology”. He became Full Professor and Head of the Department Gynaecology and Andrology in 1986. He also founded the Academic Infertility Research Unit of the Catholic University of Louvain in 1986.

He has focused his research activities on three main topics: tubal infertility, endometriosis and finally, ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation. He has published more than 700 original articles in peer-review journals. Professor Donnez was the founding president of ESGE (European Society of Gynecological Endoscopy) and the first president of WES (World Endometriosis Society) as well as the first President of the International Society for Fertility Preservation (ISFP). He has been elected in February 2009 to the Royal Belgian Academy of Medicine.

Since 2012, he has been Professor Emeritus at the Catholic University of Louvain and Director of SRI (Société de Recherche pour l’Infertilité) in Brussels. He is a member of several SAB (Scientific Advisory Boards) and is still involved in several clinical international multicenter studies on endometriosis and uterine fibroids, and collaborates with the Academic Unit of Professor M.M. Dolmans, project leader and pioneer in the field of fertility preservation in women.

Videos of the Surgical Legends interviews will be available to SRS Members on the Society of Reproductive Surgeons website.

Today on The Book Review, we have the pleasure of speaking with Hank Greeley about his latest book, CRISPR People: The Science and Ethics of Editing. Greeley is the Deane F. and Kate Edelman Johnson Professor of Law and Professor, by courtesy of Genetics at Stanford University. He specializes in ethical, legal, and social issues arising from advances in the Biosciences, particularly from genetics, neuroscience, and human stem cell research. In this podcast, Greeley discusses how he became interested in genetics, the characters that influenced his research, and the importance of the distinction between germline and non-germline genome editing. He also provides insight into the debate surrounding human germline genome editing and why it is an issue that requires much greater concern. Tune in to learn more about the fascinating world of genetics and the ethics surrounding genome editing.

In today's episode, we speak with Dr. Segal Klipstein about planned oocyte cryopreservation. Dr. Klipstein is an expert in obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, infertility, and medical ethics. We discuss the increasing trends and options available for women regarding oocyte cryopreservation, which has become a successful option for women who want to delay childbirth or safeguard their fertility due to medical treatment or cancer. Dr. Klipstein explains the new nomenclature of "planned oocyte preservation" and the various uses of this technology, including freezing eggs when there is no sperm available, only fertilizing a limited number of eggs to avoid an excess of embryos, and having more reproductive freedom down the road. Tune in to learn more about this important topic.

He explains that early conversation and sometimes repetitive conversations about what fertility preservation means for the patient's future is vital. Dr. Widra highlights that while ovarian tissue preservation and elective planned oocyte cryopreservation may be options for some women, not everyone is a candidate. Tune in to learn more about oncofertility and the options available to cancer patients to preserve their fertility.
