emeritus professor of obstetrics and
gynecology at UC Irvine who championed the
use of minimally-invasive laparoscopy to
search for such things as fibroids, cysts
and cancer, died July 29 at his home in

cancer," said Mike Intriligator, a first
cousin.

•Phillips organized a landmark medical
conference in Las Vegas that introduced
many physicians and surgeons to
laparoscopy. The speakers included
Germany's Hans Frangenheim, who
"demonstrated the first direct inspection

and treat everything from cancer to cysts
to the liver and
gallbladder.

organization that collects medical books
and ships them to China, Intriligator
