department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences
Abraham Roth Professor and Chair, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences
For over a century, the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Temple University has conducted research and provided clinical care to women of all ages and in virtually all aspects of reproductive medicine. As a major provider of obstetrical service, Temple University Hospital delivers over 2,700 babies a year, providing routine as well as highly sophisticated obstetrical care. In addition to the 12 labor rooms in the labor and delivery unit, the obstetrical floor includes a 27-bed obstetrical unit, 32-bassinet infant intensive care unit, and a 27-bassinet well-baby nursery. Temple University Children's Medical Center (TUCMC) is physically attached to Temple University Hospital by a skywalk. Therefore, there is easy access to sophisticated medical and surgical care for sick newborns. Some patients are transferred to Temple University Hospital as maternal transports and others as neonates.
Approximately 1,600 gynecologic surgical procedures are performed at Temple University Hospital every year. These include general gynecologic procedures, laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopy, radical abdominal/pelvic procedures for malignancy and pelvic reconstructive surgery. The fact that Temple University School of Medicine and its hospitals are components of an academic research university and a large health system makes Temple University Hospital very uniquely positioned to provide intensive, complex, high technology care to complicated obstetrical and gynecological patients. Indeed, this is precisely the dominant patient population served by the Temple Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences.
A fetal center with state-of-the-art equipment for fetal assessment, treatment and monitoring is nested within the maternal-infant floor. A urodynamic testing unit is housed in the Faculty Practice Suite.
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Temple University School of Medicine provides not only comprehensive women’s health services, but also excellent education and training to our students and residents.
Sincerely,
