urgeons from all over gathered at the beautiful Gaylord
Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville for this
year's SAGES Annual Meeting. In between listening to country
music on Broadway and chowing down on some of the best barbeque,
attendees learned about the latest innovations for minimally invasive
surgery. As co-chairs of this year's conference, we got an inside-look at
some of the coolest products being shown off in the exhibit hall. OSM
