Dear ,
Recently, Foregen President Vincenzo Aiello traveled to Düsseldorf, Germany, to meet with the renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Dan mon O'Dey. At their meeting, Enzo and Dr. O'Dey went over the results of our two recent cadaver lab sessions to discuss their implications and how to best prepare our surgical approach for use on human patients.
Who is Dr. Dan mon O'Dey?
Dr. Dan mon O’Dey, M.D., Ph.D., FEBOPRAS, is a credentialed and highly experienced surgeon from Germany who has pioneered a unique approach to treating victims of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) through reconstructive surgery.
