Dr. Bowers in Trinidad COMarci Bowers is a Gynecologic Surgeon who in January 2003 joined renowned SRS surgeon, Dr. Stanley Biber in Trinidad, Colorado. A 1986 Medical School graduate from the University of Minnesota, she served as class and student body President. She is a former Department Chairperson at Swedish Medical Center (Providence) in Seattle and had consistently been one of the busiest surgeons in Seattle until her move to Colorado. Dr. Bowers brings 20+ years of pelvic surgery experience to her work in gender surgery. She was voted as one of America's Best Doctors for 2002-2003 and was recently elected to the European Academy of Sciences. Dr. Bowers performs a highly modified version of the penile inversion technique originally developed by Dr. George Burou, also a gynecologist. Dr. Burou performed GRS in Casablanca from the late 1950's until the 1970s. His original description of the procedure found its way to Johns Hopkins' gender program, where Dr. Stanley Biber requested these original drawings in 1969. He then applied his general surgery experience and modifications to the technique. When SRS succumbed to politics in the 1970's, university based SRS programs withdrew their support and began to close. This left Dr. Biber as the premier SRS surgeon in the world, eventually resulting in Trinidad, Colorado's coronation as the "Sex Change Capital of the World" Subsequent surgeons have added modifications, just as Dr. Bowers has innovated substantially. Most notable is her move to an entirely one-stage procedure with a high degree of esthetic refinement. "Many have come here to Trinidad to learn the surgery...some didn't have the hands, some didn't have the confidence, and some didn't have the heart. Marci is the first to have all three"
"Make no mistake...Marci IS the future of Transgender Surgery"
