Facts about the Department of Gynaecology
The Department of Gynaecology is located in the Juliane Marie Centre at Rigshospitalet.

The department has about 100 employees and a cancer team comprising gynaecologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, anaesthesiologists, cancer specialists, pathologists, radiologists, clinical physiologists, nurses and psychologists, all of whom help ensure that diagnostics, treatments and research are conducted at international level.

Several of the department’s physicians participate in academic groups aimed at developing national guidelines and sharing knowledge about treatment of various types of gynaecological cancer.

The department treats about 16,000 patients annually.

Research and results
A vaccine against cervical cancer is the result of research conducted at the Department of Gynaecology. This research proved a connection between HPV and cervical cancer.

In reality, the Department of Gynaecology has improved the survival rate for patients with ovarian cancer by 8-10 percent.

The department has focused on training and education of its surgeons, who are among the best in Denmark. Physicians at the department can now exercise their skills in the virtual laparoscopy laboratory, and as a result, in a short amount of time, a newly qualified surgeon can gain the same experience as a physician who has operated on 40 patients.

The department has introduced a more gentle surgery procedure for cervical cancer. This means that more women still have a chance of becoming pregnant after end of treatment.
