Department of Gynecology at University Hospital Stuttgart offers the entire spectrum of the highest level of care for over 1,750 women with diseases of the female reproductive organs as well as the breast every year. The medical staff has achieved excellent results in the fields of minimally invasive surgery, oncological therapy, breast surgery, and urogynecology. The department is an ultra-modern facility that is considered one of the leading centers in the field of gynecological oncology in the Stuttgart region. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ulrich Karck, specialized centers work together and with other departments, for example, Departments of Radiation Therapy, Oncology, Pathology, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, and Psycho-Oncology to ensure interdisciplinary care for patients. The Center for Gynecological Cancer follows the latest guidelines for the management of the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and vulva cancer, and so it was the first in the region to be certified by the German Cancer Society and ISO 9001:2008.
The Breast Center is a pioneering facility, certified by the German Cancer Society as well as the German Society for Senology as it was the first regional clinic to introduce intraoperative radiation. The clinic also has its specialized Dysplasia Center that aims for the early detection and treatment of changes in the external genitalia and the cervix. The medical team involves surgeons who are specialists in minimally invasive procedures, also known as keyhole surgery, allowing over 1,000 patients a year to be treated by these operations. As a member of the FertiPROTEKT network, physicians of the department inform patients who underwent chemotherapy or radiation about their fertility status and management options.
