AAGLs

The AAGLs, or American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, is a professional medical society dedicated to the advancement of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Founded in 1971, the organization focuses on promoting education, research, and the highest standards of patient care in the field of laparoscopy and other endoscopic techniques within gynecology.

The AAGLs serves a diverse membership of gynecologists, surgeons, residents, and allied health professionals. It provides resources, training opportunities, and a platform for the exchange of knowledge and best practices. Key activities include organizing scientific meetings, publishing a peer-reviewed journal, and developing educational materials to support the ongoing development of minimally invasive surgical skills.

The primary goal of the AAGLs is to improve patient outcomes by encouraging the adoption and refinement of less invasive surgical approaches. These methods often lead to reduced recovery times, less pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. The association actively advocates for research funding and the dissemination of evidence-based findings to ensure that patients have access to the most effective and safest gynecologic surgical options available.
