Houssein El Hajj: Honoured to Receive the 2026 IJGC Best Video Award from IJGC
Houssein El Hajj, Gynecologic Oncologist at Gustave Roussy and President of the European Network of Young Gynae Oncologists, shared on LinkedIn:
“Honoured to receive the 2026 IJGC Best Video Award from the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer (IJGC), for ‘Robotic-assisted modified Davydov vaginal reconstruction: a step-by-step video.’
This video was born at Centre Oscar Lambret in Lille, and the award belongs to the whole team there.
Surgical videos look like one person’s work on screen, but behind every step are:
- the surgeons,
- the mentors,
- the colleagues,
- the anaesthesia
- and OR teams who made it possible,
- and the colleagues who reviewed every cut and every caption.
Thank you Fabrice Narducci, Carlos Martínez Gómez, Eric LeBlanc, Delphine Hudry.
My thanks also to Pedro Ramirez and the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer (IJGC) editorial team, and to European Society of Gynaecological Oncology and IGCS – International Gynecologic Cancer Society for supporting surgical education through this award.
Vaginal reconstruction after pelvic exenteration or radical surgery is one of the most under-taught steps in our specialty.
If this video helps a trainee somewhere approach it with more confidence, it has done its job.”
