Humanitarian Surgical Missions

The pictures and videos below were taken from humanitarian surgical missions in Uganda where Dr. Margolis leads a vesicovaginal fistula repair team annually. He regularly participates in such activities through a non-profit group called Medlend.  Training local Ugandan surgeons in fistula repair is a central aspect of the missions as well.
