Daniel Clarke-Pearson, MD, FACOG, FACS, emeritus professor of obstetrics and gynecology and former department chair, has been elected president of the Society of Pelvic Surgeons. The Society’s membership is unique in that it includes surgeons from the specialties of gynecology, urology, and colorectal surgery—each with expertise in pelvic surgery. Dr. Clarke-Pearson reflects, ‘The exchange of ideas, surgical techniques, and strategies across these specialties makes the Society particularly distinctive.’
The Society’s primary goal is the recognition that pelvic surgery is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary field, with annual advancements in gynecology, urology, and colorectal surgery. Ongoing education and collaboration across these specialties are essential to improving treatment, diagnosis, and research, ensuring that surgeons are informed of new developments and alternative management options., according to the site.
The Society’s annual meeting, which brings together members from around the world, provides an invaluable platform for collaboration and learning. Dr. Clarke-Pearson will preside over next year’s annual meeting in Charleston, South Carolina.
