Presidential Address & Lecture: Why IPEG? 11:30 am – 12:00 pmMarcelo H. Martinez Ferro, MD, INTRODUCTION: Maria Marcela Bailez, MD

Dr. Marcelo Martinez-Ferro was born in Buenos Aires and graduated from the Buenos Aires University School of Medicine in 1983. He completed his residency in pediatric surgery at the Ricardo Gutierrez Children´s Hospital and in 1988, joined the staff of Garrahan National Children`s Hospital. During his 15-year tenure at the hospital he dedicated himself to drastically improving the survival rate of newborn surgical patients whose mortality rate was historically very high in Argentina. In 1992 he completed a fellowship at the Fetal Treatment Center of the UCSF where he confi rmed his interest in fetal treatment and video surgery.

Dr. Martinez-Ferro developed numerous fetal, neonatal and pediatric surgical and MIS procedures, introducing them throughout South America. These unique procedures have earned him international recognition as a leader and pioneer in the fi eld of pediatric MIS. Due to his broad experience in the treatment of malformations of the thoracic wall in particular, he is periodically invited to operate on patients and to train surgeons and around the globe. Continue…


Throughout his career, Dr. Martinez-Ferro has maintained an active and busy academic and clinical practice. He is also an active member of many prominent surgical organizations. He has published nearly 100 articles on a multitude of pediatric surgery topics and remains a highly-requested lecturer and guest speaker for numerous surgical and medical societies around the world. In 2005, he published the fi rst Spanish textbook on neonatal surgery “Neonatología Quirúrgica,” which remains a Latin American bestseller.

Dr. Martínez-Ferro is currently the professor of surgery and pediatrics, Chief Division of Pediatric Surgery, at the Fundacion Hospitalaria Children´s Hospital and the Coordinator of Fetal Treatment Center at the CEMIC University Hospital in Buenos Aires. Dr. Martinez-Ferro and his wife Valeria live in Buenos Aires with their three children.

KARL STORZ LECTURE: NOTES®: The Next or the Past Revolution? 2:15 pm – 3:00 pmJacques Marescaux, MD, INTRODUCTION: Steven S. Rothenberg, MD

Dr. Jacques Marescaux was born on August 4, 1948. He quickly set his sights on a medical career. Upon completing his internship, he decided that surgery could never be an end in itself if disassociated from a scientifi c approach. He obtained a position as university professor of surgery, at the age of 32.

In 1994, he created an original structure dedicated to surgical research and training: IRCAD, a private non-profi t institute, where researchers, computer science engineers, roboticians, international surgical experts and industry giants meet.

Since its creation, IRCAD has gained a renown of excellence in surgical research, attested by 2425 international publications and communications.

In September 2001, Prof. Marescaux realized the fi rst long-distance remote surgery from New York to Strasbourg (Lindbergh Operation).

IRCAD’s strong research orientation being the development of ever less invasive surgical techniques, a new concept of transluminal surgery using natural orifi ces, avoiding any scar on skin and muscles, has been initiated

in 2004 (ANUBIS project) allowing the fi rst surgical intervention via natural orifi ces on 2nd April 2007.

So many surgical changes imply the parallel development of a training structure: the European Institute of Tele-Surgery that has gained international renown which is easily confi rmed by the number of surgeons registering for the courses: 3.500 surgeons from all the continents are being trained each year.

Backed by the acknowledgment of a real need to keep up the link between the training institute and surgeons, in 2000, Prof. Marescaux has imagined a Virtual University on the Internet (WeBSurg), a website available in fi ve languages:French, English, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. In 2009, there are more than 72.000 active members.

The international success of IRCAD is behind a mirror Institute in Taiwan (Asia Ircad – AITS), a second Institute should open in Brazil in the State of Sao Paulo.

DescriptionThe panel will discuss the pro’s and con’s of minimally invasive congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair, inguinal hernia repair and cancer surgery. There is ambiguity about the appropriateness of some minimally invasive procedures. Three areas in which there is not clear evidence are neonatal diaphragmatic hernia repair, inguinal hernia repair and cancer surgery. This session is designed to share expert opinion with the audience and promote audience participation through discussion of the topics.

KEYNOTE LECTURE: “The Toll of Turning Impossible Dreams to Tangible Realities.” 9:30 am – 10:00 amBarry Goodfi eld, MD, INTRODUCTION: Thom E. Lobe, MD

When parents dreams turn to nightmares it is often the skills of the Pediatric Endosurgeon that reverse the situation. Bringing innovation and creativity to crisis is their daily job but, there is a price tag. High stress, pressure, and often overwhelming expectations leave their marks on IPEG members. Dr. Barry Goodfi eld will discuss the personal costs of being an endosurgeon. This presentation will pose solutions to reduce the price the pediatric endosurgeon pays to excel. Expect practical suggestions wrapped in a package of inspiration.

Dr. Barry Goodfi eld has been a consultant and trainer to the medical societies in Bordeaux, and Paris. He has worked with traumatic birth experience and its impact on children and parents more than 30 years. He has split his time between his practice in the United States and Europe for the last 30 plus years. Dr. Goodfi eld sees the

work of the IPEG as having major importance to not just the patent and family but to the society as a whole. He will comment on the personal impact to all involved and better prepare the pediatric endosurgeon to deal effectively with the challenges of the future.
