Jacques Donnez (born July 16, 1947 in Tournai ) is a Belgian gynecologist and reproductive medicine specialist .

Life

Donnez studied medicine at the Université catholique de Louvain from 1965 to 1972 . From 1972 to 1976 he completed his training in gynecology and obstetrics at the University Clinics Sint-Rafaël (St. Rafael) and Sint-Pieter (St. Pierre) of today's Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the University of Louvain under Joseph A. Schockaert. From 1976 to 1978 he completed his internship at the University Hospital Saint-Luc in surgery under Paul-Jacques Kemmen and his residency internship in gynecology from 1978 to 1980 under Jacques Ferin.

From 1980 Donnez worked at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Université Catholique in Louvain-la-Neuve . He qualified as a Ph.D. in 1984. and in 1986 was appointed Professor and Head of the Gynecological Clinic at Saint-Luc University Hospital . In 1992 he was appointed full professor and head of the department of gynecology at Louvain University.

Jacques Donnez was a founding member of several European and international medical societies and at times their president. He is a member of the editorial board of several specialist journals.

In 1993 Donnez published the first laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy , which is now widely used in this form. In 2008, as part of such an operation, he captured ovulation in a 45-year-old patient.
In 2003, Jacques Donnez's group succeeded in transplanting ovarian tissue, which had been cryopreserved since 1997, in a patient with survived Hodgkin lymphoma stage IV, followed by the birth of a healthy child.
In 2010 his working group reported on the first restoration of ovarian function by transplanting ovarian tissue between genetically non-identical twin sisters and in 2011 on giving birth after this procedure.

Donnez headed the department of Saint-Luc until he left in September 2012.

Controversy

After the Lancet publication in 2004 on the world's first birth after successful transplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue, it was repeatedly doubted whether the egg cell came from the transplanted tissue or whether the patient's ovaries would have recovered on their own. Three co-authors then withdrew their authorship of the publication. In addition, a Donnez laptop with the data for the publication was stolen just during this period.

In 2012 a discussion broke out about the successful transplantation of ovarian tissue between genetically not identical twin sisters, which was reported in 2011. On the one hand, the evidence of follicles in a histological examination of ovarian tissue was not mentioned in the publication, on the other hand, contrary to the assumption of the scientists, there was no approval of an ethics committee for an allograft , only for an autologous transplant . A few months before the publication, on November 26, 2010, the clinic's laboratory was completely destroyed by arson .

Honors

Jacques Donnez has received many awards for his scientific work. In 1994 he held the HB Atlee Lecture in honor of the Canadian gynecologist Harold Benge Atlee (1890–1978) at Dalhousie University Halifax ( Canada ).

He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the following universities:

In November 2008 Donnez was appointed honorary professor at the Universidad de Buenos Aires ( Argentina ). He has been a Fellow ad eundem of the British Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists since 2001 and an Honorary Fellow of the Thai Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RTCOG) since 2002 .

Donnez has been awarded honorary membership of the South-American Society of Endoscopy, the Japan Society of Gynaecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy, the British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy, the Sociedade Brasileira de Endoscopia Ginecologica e Endometriose (SOBENGE), and the Sociedad Argentina de Endometriosis.

On the occasion of the 10th World Congress on Human Reproduction he received the Award for the outstanding contribution to the field of Human Reproduction in 1999 and the Award of excellence in Endoscopy from the European Society for Gynecological Endoscopy (ESGE) in Paris in 2000 .
