Department Introduction

Gynecology Unit 2 has a faculty of more than thirty, including 15 doctors and 17 nurses. We have 51 beds and the admitted patients are about 3000 per year from all over the country. Our clinical and research team has leading superiority in many aspects in general gynecology, including minimal invasive surgery, long-term treatment and follow-up for patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis, standard and comprehensive therapy for patients with chronic pelvic pain, etc. Gynecology Unit 2 has earned its reputation as the only and the largest ward specialized in endometriosis in China by:

·Participating in formulating the Chinese guidelines of many benign gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, uterine leiomyoma, etc.

·Exploring knowledge of women’s health through basic and clinical research, educating patients and training young clinicians and scientists.

·Focusing on researches in endometriosis and adenomyosis, especially the pain mechanism. And we are specialized on conservative surgery for adenomyosis, which can both reserve fertility function and release pain symptom.

·General Gynecology

We provide almost all kinds of treatments for General Gynecology - including minimal invasive surgeries (laparoscopy and hysteroscopy) for many benign gynecologic diseases, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, uterine adhesion, uterine malformation, polyps, etc. We take the lead in the nation in performing laparoscopic surgeries for deep infiltrating endometriosis, including bowl/bladder/ureter endometriosis. And we have first developed “Double-Flap” method of laparoscopic adenomyomectomy for diffuse uterine adenomyosis, which has excellent effect on relieving clinical symptoms and also preserving/improving fertility. Furthermore, we are skillful at laparoscopic operations for early gynecologic carcinomas as well.

Specialty:

Endometriosis: In regard to endometriosis, our team takes the leading position among the nation in its early diagnosis, precise and standard surgical/medical treatment and long-term follow-up work. We are specialized in laparoscopic surgeries for deep infiltrating endometriosis, including bowl/bladder/ureter endometriosis, and recurrent endometriosis. We have a multidisciplinary team of experts to collaborate during the operation. The Director-Professor Zhang, participates in the formulation of the “Chinese Guideline of Endometriosis”, indicating the standard protocol for its treatments.

Adenomyosis:We have first developed “Double-Flap” method of laparoscopic adenomyomectomyfor diffuse uterine adenomyosis, which has excellent effect on relieving clinical symptoms and also preserving/improving fertility.

Chronic Pelvic Pain: Our faculty have rich clinical experience in chronic pelvic painand its etiological treatment. We analyze every patient individually and find precise cause of the pain for them, give them pertinent treatments. We use laparoscopic surgeries to differentiate gynecologic pain causes, and we are qualified in block anesthesia to treat the pain caused by myofascial syndrome.

IV Stage Endoscopic Surgeries:IV stage endoscopic surgeries are performed extensively in our ward, including laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and para-aortic/pelvic lymphatic dissection for gynecologic carcinoma, hysteroscopic resection of submucous myoma, hysteroscopic incision of severe uterine adhesion, radiofrequency ablation of endometrium (Novasure), etc.

Our comprehensive gynecological services include:

Chronic Pelvic Pain: We offer outpatient service specialized on chronic pelvic pain. Our faculty have rich clinical experience in chronic pelvic pain and its etiological treatment. We provide individualized treatment for each patient. And we use laparoscopic surgeries to differentiate gynecologic pain causes, and we are qualified in block anesthesia to treat the pain caused by myofascial syndrome.

·Gynecologic Oncology: We are qualified for laparoscopic surgeries for early gynecologic carcinomas, and our faculty are skillful at cold knife conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

·Chronic Pelvic Pain:We have an outpatient service specialized on chronic pelvic pain, as to its complexity, we analyze every patient individually and find precise cause of the pain for them, give them pertinent treatments.

Our unit hasthe only and the largest medical ward specialized in endometriosisin China, milestones include:

·Participating in edition of the Chinese guidelines of many benign gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, uterine leiomyoma, etc;

·First developing “Double-Flap”method of laparoscopic adenomyomectomy for diffuse uterine adenomyosis, which has excellent effect on relieving clinical symptoms and also preserving/improving fertility (2013);

·One of the earliest endoscopic centers which can perform laparoscopic surgeries for deep infiltrating endometriosis, including bowl/bladder/ureter endometriosis, and recurrent endometriosis.

·First opening an outpatient service specialized on chronic pelvic pain, providing precise diagnosis and treatments for the patients.

As the National IV Grade Endoscopic Surgery Training Base, we provide post-graduate training for those gynecologists specialized on endoscopic surgery, and about 15-20 doctors from primary hospitals are trained each year in our unit. As the National Standardized Residents Training Base, we train 40-50 residents from all over Zhejiang Province each year, and we cultivate 3-4 master/doctoral students each year as well.

Our faculty carry out the National Postgraduate Education Training Course of Endometriosis each year from 2015, and each time over 200 participants would attend the training course and learn the most advanced professional knowledge. Furthermore, our faculty would give lectures and perform endoscopic surgeries in primary hospitals, trying our best to standard the protocols of gynecologic disease treatments.

In addition, we participated in editing and publishing professional books, such as “Endometriosis” and “Adenomyosis”, etc.

Training Base：

• National Standardized Residents Training Base
• National IV Grade Endoscopic Surgery Training Base

Our facultymake great efforts to conduct clinical and basic researches in gynecologic diseases, especially focus on:

·Mechanisms of pathogenesis of endometriosis: We emphasize on the molecular and biological mechanisms of pathogenesis of endometriosis, trying our best to find the targeted drugs to cure the disease and decrease recurrence. And we persistently study the high risk factors and mechanisms of malignant transformation of endometriosis, in order to making early diagnosis and improving prognosis.

·Research on the pain mechanisms of adenomyosis: Considering nerve mapping and pain transmitting, we study the molecular pathways of pain in adenomyosis patients, and we focus on conservative surgeries which can reduce pain and improv fertility.

·Clinical trials of other benign gynecologic diseases: We also conduct many clinical trials and summarize clinical data in order to find better drugs or advanced surgical methods andWe, through control study or meta-analysis, we work hard to work out more effective and secure therapeuticplans for patients.
