Greg Marchand, M.D. is an American obstetrician, gynecologist and inventor of two surgical procedures, the first for removing the fallopian tubes to sterilize women and reduce their risk of ovarian cancer,[1][2] and the second a technique for placing a laparoscopic cervical cerclage to prevent preterm birth.[3] Marchand serves as an Associate Professor of Medicine at Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine in Glendale, AZ and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Mesa, AZ. As a proponent of the field of surgical morcellation, Marchand has been the focus of criticism surrounding morcellation techniques.[4][5]

Marchand is holder of three surgical world records in the field of minimally invasive surgery.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Marchand appears as an expert on Obstetrics and Gynecology in the mainstream media.[4][5][8] He has appeared on The Today Show[15] and Inside Edition[16] for his expert opinions.

Biography[edit]

Marchand is originally from Johnston, RI, and attended medical school at Spartan Health Sciences University in the Caribbean.[17] He completed training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN.[17]

Invented surgical techniques[edit]

The "Marchand Salpingectomy" surgical technique was developed by Marchand shortly after the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology released Committee Opinion #620.[18] The committee opinion dramatically changed gynecologic surgery by recommending salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) in instances where tubal ligation (tying the fallopian tubes) previously would have been recommended.[18] Marchand originally described and published the technique at the October 24, 2017 Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons in San Diego, CA.[1][2]

Dr. Richard Demir and Marchand authored an unnamed technique for the laparoscopic placement of a cervical cerclage to prevent cervical insufficiency leading to preterm births. A video describing this technique was later published at the 32nd British International Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecology, in Belfast, UK on June 20, 2010.[3][19] This technique was added to the published list of core competencies at the Rutgers University New Jersey School of Medicine in 2018.[20]

Personal health[edit]

In 2010, Marchand was diagnosed with a choriocarcinoma, an aggressive testicular cancer.[6] Marchand underwent surgery and treatments that year and reports that he has been in remission since that time.[7] Marchand cites his own personal battle as his inspiration for creating surgical techniques to treat cancer in interviews and publications.[9]
