| Research Contents |
Our department consists of teams of physicians/researchers with highly specialized expertise in every area of Ob-Gyn.
1) Maternal and fetal medicine: As a subcenter of perinatal medical care in Kyoto prefecture, we accept women with high-risk pregnancy or maternal transport anytime.
2) Perinatal remote diagnosis system: We are a member of the perinatal healthcare network consisting of 19 perinatal medical centers across the prefecture, working on remote diagnosis by fetal sonography.
3) Basic and clinical research in endometriosis: To clarify the pathogenic mechanism and establish new treatment strategy, we focus on hormonal environment, immune system, and inflammatory response of endometriosis patients.
4) We are engaged in developing a novel serum marker for early diagnosis of endometriosis.
5) We provide multidisciplinary therapy for severe endometriosis aiming to improve fertility.
6) Gynecologic oncology: Our basic research on cancer development mechanism aims to discover the biomarker and growth-regulatory factor, for early diagnosis and more effective treatment.
7) Oncofertility: We provide the fertility-sparing treatment/surgery for cancer patients in adolescence and young age (AYA).
8) We have accumulated experience of laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery for gynecologic tumors.
9) We are analyzing anti-aging effects of endocrine therapies to develop a new treatment concept. |
