The specialization includes surgical gynecology and gynecologic oncology, obstetrics and perinatal medicine, gynecological endocrinology and reproductive medicine. All the very latest and most effective treatment methods are available here.The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ludwig Kiesel.

A special focus is made on the treatment of malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, which is carried out within the Comprehensive Cancer Center Muenster. A highly qualified interdisciplinary medical team works for the benefit of the patients. The basis of its activities is the use of the very latest therapeutic options in combination with psychosocial care. The department is certified by the German Cancer Society. If the surgical removal of gynecological tumors is required, preference is given to minimally invasive techniques, which have several advantages compared with classical surgery, for example, a small incision (2-3 cm), minimal pain, low blood loss and early recovery of the patient. The most common diagnoses in the field of gynecological oncology are uterine cancer, cervical cancer, cancer of the external genitalia (vulvar cancer), vaginal cancer and cancer of the connective tissue of the reproductive organs (sarcoma).

Obviously, the service range of the department includes the diagnostics and treatment of common gynecologic disorders, for example, endometriosis, uterine myoma, polycystic ovary syndrome, hormonal disorders due to the gynecologic diseases, menstrual disorders, etc. Also, the department's specialists provide comprehensive care for young patients with such problems as premature sexual development or its delay, irregular periods in girls, and genital infections.

The scope of tasks includes quality postpartum care both for mother and baby. At the same time, the key role is played by sensitive, friendly attitude, care and openness to all wishes and questions of a woman. If necessary, the patient is also provided with the help of breastfeeding specialists, pediatricians, psychosocial workers, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. If something threatens the life of a child during or after childbirth, the department's specialists immediately take all the necessary therapeutic measures in order to improve the baby's health.

The department also employs the specialists in the field of reproductive medicine (specialized center). They make every effort in order to give a woman the opportunity to have a child.
