AAGL 36th Congress:  Patients Public Relation Initiative - Charles Miller, MD, AAGL President

OBGYN.net proudly supports education for women on minimally invasive procedures.
In the U.S. there are over 600,000 hysterectomies performed each year, about 1,643 a day.  In fact, by the age of 60, 1 in 3 women will have had a hysterectomy. You may be feeling anxious, but remember that there are 599,999 other women this year who will feel like you.  In addition, you can take comfort in knowing that recent medical advances have made this common procedure much less invasive.

The AAGL Advancing Minimally Invasive Gynecology Worldwide in partnership with OBGYN.net is pleased to welcome you to the online webcast of selected presentations from our Annual AAGL Global Congress. Enjoy the great wealth of educational information available at AAGL 2007 ONLINE.
