The Trocar Open Access Journal – 03/2022

Dear friends, COVID is now in its third year and will be with us for a long time. Last year, ISGE was the first society that dared to hold a physical congress (August 2021). Others followed, even though most events were held online again in winter. It remains difficult, but we are very happy to meet friends from all over the world again this year. With our friends from MAMIGS we put together a very interesting program and Agadir in Morocco is a very good place to cultivate international friendship. Especially at a time of war in Europe, we should show that scientific exchange connects and friendships are possible regardless of nationality, religion and origin. Therefore, we are very happy to meet many friends and colleagues in Agadir again. ISGE has tried again to involve other specialist societies in the annual congress and to give them space for their topics.

This year the European Endometriosis League and the Society for Neuropelveology are represented at our congress. Under the heading ISGE meets… we will organize special sessions on the topics of the colleagues. Agadir and the congress are worth a trip!!

As we continue to face uncertain times with the current crises (Covid; global warming and war in Europe), it is all the more important that a global community of physicians maintain friendship and scientific exchange. Let’s show, as we have for many years, that only cohesion brings humanity further.

We as ISGE would like to continue to offer you a platform for this and are constantly working on it. With our journal we offer a low-threshold entry into publishing and we are very happy about contributions from specialists from all over the world, as in this issue. Teaching is our passion, for this we have developed further platforms in order to constantly develop our offer.

See you in Agadir!

Yours, Guenter Noé
