IN MEMORIAM
KARL ZUCKER, MD, FACS

Karl Zucker died of recurrent esophageal cancer on September 18, 2001, just as we were going to press with this program. The Laparoscopic World has lost one of its best. He was an active SAGES member and a pioneer in minimal access surgery. He was founding editor of Surgical Laparoscopy and Endoscopy which became known to all of us as "The Zucker journal." Karl took an active and forward thinking interest in surgical technology until the very end of his life. He worked with Drs. Lee Swanstrom and Gerhard Buess to structure the New Technology panel of the World Congress and was to be its co-chair. We acknowledge the enormous contribution he made to surgery. We will miss him.
