A Gynecologist's Procedure

Unfortunately, less than a generation ago, most trainees in our field had virtually no exposure to cystoscopy. Generally, as in my own case, gynecologists interested in gaining cystoscopy skills had to be mentored by a friendly urologist.

With this in mind, I have enlisted Dr. G. Willy Davila to present cystoscopy for this Master Class in gynecologic surgery.

Dr. Davila not only chairs the department of gynecology at the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Fla., he also heads the clinic's section of urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery.

Dr. Davila serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Female Urinary Incontinence, Revista Latinoamericana de Uroginecologia y Disfunciones Pelvianas, and the International Urogynecology Journal. He is a prolific writer and has edited three books on the specialty subject matter of urogynecology.
