Dr. Ursula Catena participated in the 54th AAGL Global Congress, held in Vancouver (Canada) from November 8–11, 2025, one of the most important international events in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
During the congress, she served as Chair of the ESGE session and as an invited speaker, delivering a lecture on the prevention of complications in hysteroscopy—an essential topic for patient safety and high-quality clinical practice.
She also presented her innovative minimally invasive technique for the treatment of a rare uterine anomaly, Robert’s uterus, for which she received the Golden Hysteroscope Award, one of the most prestigious international recognitions in the field.

I am deeply honored to have received the Golden Hysteroscope Award, one of the most prestigious international recognitions in the field of hysteroscopy.
The award was presented during the AAGL Global Congress in Vancouver for a video showcasing the ultrasound-guided hysteroscopic treatment of a Robert’s uterus—an intervention that reflects how intrauterine surgery is evolving toward increasingly higher standards of precision, safety, and preservation of reproductive function.
This achievement represents not only technical progress, but also a step forward in our daily mission: offering minimally invasive treatments that truly improve women’s quality of life and clinical outcomes. It is the result of study, continuous research, and a deep passion for a discipline that is constantly advancing.
My heartfelt thanks go to the colleagues, mentors, and collaborators who have shared this journey. No recognition is ever the product of a single individual: it is the outcome of a shared vision, of complementary expertise, and of teamwork that makes possible what none of us could accomplish alone.
I accept this award with gratitude and with a renewed commitment to advancing hysteroscopic surgery, so that women may receive care that is increasingly effective, safe, and respectful of their health.
