Jefferson's specialists in obstetrics provide routine obstetrical and maternity care for thousands of women each year. Among areas that the staff emphasizes are childbirth education for expectant parents and patient preference in childbirth arrangements. Jefferson's gynecologic specialists also provide a full range of services, including breast- and genital-cancer screening, evaluation for fertility and virtually all gynecologic diagnostic and therapeutic options currently employed in leading national centers. Importantly, departmental generalists have ready access to the subspecialists in the department, who provide leading-edge consultative options in evaluation and treatment.

The department's maternal-fetal specialists collaborate with one of the most advanced ultrasound groups in the world, housed at Jefferson. Perinatologists work closely with Jefferson radiologists and geneticists to evaluate the high-risk mother whose fetus has increased risk for problems of growth and development. These maternal-fetal medicine specialists are a central component of Jefferson's nationally recognized expertise in in utero testing and treatment. With the depth of their experience in managing high-risk pregnancies, they are an invaluable referral resource. Collaboration with Jefferson's highly regarded team of neonatologists complements these efforts.

A newly expanded fertility service offers the full range of evaluations and treatments for couples who are having difficulty becoming pregnant. Not only is the in vitro program successful, but the service also offers other forms of assisted reproductive techniques - such as GIFT and natural-cycle IVF.

Gynecologic endocrinologists also provide expert care for a large population of women with such conditions as anovulation, endometriosis, male hormone excess and menopausal syndrome. These Jeff experts helped bring pelviscopy and other minimally invasive surgical procedures to the region's medical community.

The department's newly enhanced capabilities in gynecologic oncology entail special expertise in such cancers as those of the cervix and ovaries. Jefferson gynecologic oncologists are able to offer advanced surgical care, combined with the most up-to-date radiation and chemotherapy, including intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

The department's urogynecology service offers the community a full range of diagnostic techniques for the patient with incontinence and lower urinary tract problems, seeking to identify the right choice in therapeutic options for each patient.
