Dr. Michael Wynn-Williams has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first New Zealander to hold the role of President of The Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopy and Surgery (AGES) Society, marking a historic achievement for New Zealand’s representation in Australasian gynaecological surgery leadership. Having previously served as Vice-President and been elected to the AGES Board in 2017 as the New Zealand representative, Dr. Wynn-Williams brings extensive experience to this prestigious position, including his role as a Training Director of the Auckland AGES Advanced Training Program (AATP) and founder and chair of the AGES Laparoscopic Anatomy Pelvic Dissection (LapD) education program.
