Female Pelvic Floor Specialty

Department Details

The Department of Gynecology is one of the key supported specialties of the hospital, with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of female pelvic floor dysfunction diseases and gynecological endoscopic techniques, actively striving to establish itself as a provincial-level key specialty. Over the past five years, the department has shown significant progress, forming three subspecialties: general gynecology, female pelvic floor medicine, and gynecological oncology. In the last three years, specialized techniques developed include: transvaginal minimally invasive pelvic floor reconstruction surgery, laparoscopic pelvic floor reconstruction surgery, laparoscopic type III radical hysterectomy with preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves, laparoscopic resection of deep infiltrating endometriosis lesions, and laparoscopic tubal end-to-end anastomosis. Our hospital has the highest number of clinical cases of new pelvic floor reconstruction procedures in Guangdong Province. Over five years, 10 master's students have graduated, with an annual consultation volume of over 30 cases and an annual inpatient count of 1,741. The number of outpatients treated in the specialty has increased year by year, with an annual outpatient volume of over 67,000 cases, accounting for 6.76% of the hospital's total annual business volume, and an annual surgical volume of 1,437 cases. In 2008, it was recognized by the Ministry of Health as a "Gynecological Endoscopy Training Base," and in 2011, it was rated as a "Level 4 Gynecological Endoscopy Training Base" by the Medical Administration Department of the National Ministry of Health. The academic leader, Zhang Xiaowei, has been engaged in clinical practice, teaching, and research in obstetrics and gynecology for 26 years. She serves as the Deputy Head of the Female Pelvic Floor Group of the Chinese Medical Association's Obstetrics and Gynecology Branch, Vice Chairperson of the Guangdong Medical Association's Obstetrics and Gynecology Branch, and Head of the Female Pelvic Floor Group of the Guangdong Medical Association's Obstetrics and Gynecology Branch. In the past three years, she has been invited for consultations and surgical consultations on difficult cases at tertiary hospitals both domestically and within the province, with over 50 external consultations. She has delivered lectures and promoted new technologies in more than 20 sessions across China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Since becoming the Director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department in 2001, her expert outpatient volume has consistently ranked among the top 10 in the hospital. Over the past decade, she has been dedicated to the development of minimally invasive gynecological techniques, including clinical and experimental research on laparoscopic surgery for gynecological malignancies and female pelvic floor reconstruction. She continuously strives for technical excellence and bold innovation, leading the development of over 10 new minimally invasive gynecological techniques, including laparoscopic/transvaginal total pelvic floor reconstruction, laparoscopic radical surgery for uterine malignancies with pelvic and iliac lymph node dissection, laparoscopic tubal end-to-end anastomosis, laparoscopic surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis, laparoscopic type III radical hysterectomy with preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves combined with pelvic, iliac, and para-aortic lymph node dissection, and laparoscopic inguinal lymph node dissection. She has conducted experimental and clinical research on the safety of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and etiological and epidemiological studies of pelvic floor dysfunction diseases. Her epidemiological research on female urinary incontinence has identified high-risk factors for the condition, providing preventive measures, and she was the first in China to propose a relatively safe area for presacral suture fixation. Since 2003, she has been engaged in the development of level 4 gynecological endoscopic techniques, leading her team of gynecologists to complete 63 cases of radical or semi-radical surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis; over 100 cases of laparoscopic pelvic floor reconstruction, including laparoscopic Burch surgery, lateral vaginal wall repair, and sacrocolpopexy; and over 200 cases of laparoscopic radical surgery for uterine malignancies.
