A DETAILED understanding of pelvic anatomy underpins safe gynaecological surgery, but developing advanced surgical skills requires opportunities to move beyond simulation. At the University of Leeds, UK, the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) brought together senior trainees and consultant gynaecologists for hands-on cadaveric dissection and robotic simulation. This feature explores the course’s practical lessons, the expertise behind its delivery, and the generosity of body donors who make this training possible. Minimally invasive gynaecological surgery continues to evolve rapidly, with increasing complexity in the management of endometriosis, gynaecological malignancies, and benign pelvic disease. While simulation has transformed surgical education, many advanced procedures still require an understanding of anatomical planes and tissue handling that can only be fully appreciated through cadaveric dissection.

At Fall Clinical 2026, Angela Fitch, MD, discussed GLP-1 prescribing by dermatologists and the metabolic and inflammatory link to psoriasis. Angela Fitch, MD, co-founder and chief medical officer of Knownwell and past president of the Obesity Medicine Association, recently discussed GLP-1 care in psoriasis after a multidisciplinary panel at Fall Clinical 2026. Fitch, an obesity medicine specialist, described the medications as relevant to more than weight management, and wants dermatologists to feel comfortable prescribing them. Multidisciplinary Care Beyond Weight ManagementThe panel included Fitch, dermatologists, a pharmacist to answer clinical pharmacy questions, and a patient advocate to share the patient perspective. Fitch called the patient view especially important. She said the discussion centered on GLP-1 care as more than a weight management tool. “We’re really talking about not just losing weight, but gaining health,” Fitch said. Fitch noted a strong relationship between psoriasis and metabolic health issues, extending across the whole metabolic health continuum rather than weight alone.
