The members of this committee include: Jim E. Gilmore, MD; Robert W. Alexander MD, DMD; Ronald A. Fragen, MD; Dee Anna Glaser, MD; Kevin Pinski, MD; and Jacob Varon, MD. The ASLSS Advisory Council reviewed the guidelines in May 2002. These revised guidelines were presented to and passed by the AACS Board of Trustees on October 3, 2002.
