The Future of Gynecology Under Discussion: Scolla Surgical Training Center Hosts the International Symposium on Gynecological Surgery (ISGS)
In a world where medicine is advancing by leaps and bounds, the pursuit of innovation and continuous improvement is the driving force behind ensuring a fulfilling life. Gynecological surgery, in particular, has advanced tremendously in recent decades. Laparoscopy has revolutionized the specialty, and many of its advancements are now also applied in open surgery. Robotic surgery, in turn, is driving a similar transformation, while there is still much to be explored regarding the potential of the vaginal approach.
The Emblematic Case of Francielle Boarão
It is against this backdrop of constant evolution that Francielle Boarão’s inspiring story unfolds. Facing a diagnosis of bowel cancer, which would require radiation therapy in the pelvic region, Francielle saw her hopes for motherhood and her quality of life preserved thanks to a revolutionary uterine transposition technique. Developed by the visionary Dr. Reitan Ribeiro, Francielle was the second woman in the world to benefit from this procedure, which preserves fertility. The greatest testament to the effectiveness of this innovation came in 2025, when Francielle became pregnant and gave birth to her first daughter, confirming the surgery’s ability to transform lives and make dreams come true. Her case underscores the urgency and importance of surgeons who are highly skilled and dare to break paradigms, offering solutions that once seemed impossible.
International Symposium on Gynecological Surgery (ISGS)
It is with this philosophy of excellence and humanitarian impact that the Scolla Surgical Training Center announces a transformative event: the International Symposium of Gynecological Surgery (ISGS). This intensive three-day event will bring together the leading minds and most renowned figures in gynecological surgery from Brazil and around the world. Led by Dr. Ribeiro and featuring global leaders such as Dr. Joel Laufer, the symposium promises to redefine the standards for continuing education and learning in the specialty, giving participants the opportunity to redefine their practice in gynecology.
Designed for those seeking cutting-edge knowledge and practical application, this unique event will provide a deep immersion into the daily practice of gynecologic surgery. Featuring a comprehensive theoretical symposium, the ISGS will offer in-depth content, expert clinical discussions, and a rich exchange of experiences—all led by specialists who are shaping the future of gynecology worldwide. We will discuss how the integration of other specialties—such as plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and urology—has influenced gynecologic surgery, and how the different methods (vaginal, robotic, laparoscopic, and open) interact and complement one another. It is a unique opportunity for surgeons who wish to incorporate the latest and most effective techniques into their practice.
Immersion and Hands-On Practice
In addition to the theoretical content, the ISGS takes learning to the next level. Professionals enrolled in the in-person training sessions will have the valuable opportunity to apply the knowledge they’ve acquired during intensive hands-on courses. A practical session is scheduled for March 14 and will be held at the modern Training Center in Campo Largo, Paraná, allowing participants to hone their surgical skills in a controlled and innovative environment. The theoretical symposium will take place in Curitiba, Paraná, ensuring accessibility and state-of-the-art facilities.
“Gynecological medicine is more than just a technical field; it is the art of caring, of preserving dignity and fertility, and of restoring hope. It is imperative that we, as surgeons, continue to evolve. This symposium is a call to excellence, an invitation to build together a future where innovation and compassion go hand in hand.”
