Sir Alec Turnbull was a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Oxford and a key figure in the development of minimally invasive surgery in this country.
Sir Alec saw the potential of endoscopic surgery, having observed Kurt Semm pioneering work in Germany. He chaired symposia to promote awareness and further the knowledge of laparascopic techniques, offering full use of his hospital’s facilities and providing support and guidance throughout.
Even though he was terminally ill, he attended every session as well as acting as host at the evening dinners. This was typical of his generosity and enthusiasm and of his encouragement of the development of new ideas.
Every year the BSGE organise a Sir Alec Turnbull lecture at the ASM in his honour.
