Camran Nezhat was recently honored by Drs. Lee Swanstrom and Adrian Park with the invitation to present on the history of video‑assisted laparoscopy—a technique that truly revolutionized modern surgery.
In preparing the chapter that followed, he revisited more than 40 years of history and was reminded that any progress he was part of rests firmly on the shoulders of giants—visionary gynecologists and surgeons whose courage paved the way for this transformation.
The title chosen by Drs. Swanstrom and Park says it best: “Credit Goes Where Credit Is Due: Gynecologists Pave the Way for Revolution in Surgery.”
