11 Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Athens, Greece.
Abstract:
The Greek surgeon-gynecologist Savvas Georgiadis from Phocaea in Asia Minor had performed in 1897 an innovative surgical operation in a young female patient, reconstructing her vagina. Having been educated both in Greece and France, specialized in gynecology, he became a famous surgeon in the Hellenic Hospital of Smyrna "Agios Charalampos," where the operation was masterfully executed. Although among the pioneers in neovagina techniques, Georgiadis still is searching his place among the important figures in the history of plastic surgery.
