We are proud to announce that on August 1, 2024, the team of the 1st and 2nd Sub-Department of Reproduction and Perinatal Medicine (PRIMP 1 and 2), UMP Reproduction Clinic, under the direction of Professor Ewa Wender-Ożegowska, Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinical Hospital named after Heliodor Święcicki in Poznań, composed of:
Surgical team:
– Daniel Boroń MD (PRiMP1)
– assoc Prof. Paweł Gutaj MD PhD (PRiMP1)
– assoc. Prof. Rafał Iciek MD PhD (PRiMP2)
Rafał Iciek and Paweł Gutaj are experienced gynecologists – perinatologists, associated with the UMP Reproduction Clinic for years. Daniel Boroń is this year´s graduate of the Doctoral School and thanks to the Nawa Ster program, he completed a month’s internship at the best center in Europe dealing with, among others, surgeries in multiple pregnancies.
together with the team of the GPSK UMP Operating Block consisting of:
Team of instrument nurses:
– Natalia Kunsztowicz MSc
– Paulina Słupska Msc
Anaesthesiology team:
– Natalia Kokot MD PhD
– Małgorzata Daroń MSc
successfully performed, for the first time in the history of GPSK, a procedure of fetoscopic laser coagulation of vascular connections (anastomosis) within the placenta, in a pregnant woman in the 18th week of a twin pregnancy, monochorionic-diamniotic, complicated by extreme growth restriction of one of the fetuses (sFGR- type IIa). Such a pregnancy complication poses a risk of intrauterine death of both twins or severe impairment of the surviving fetus. A successfully performed procedure gives a chance for the proper development of both fetuses. The patient will remain under the strict care and control of the Clinic team throughout the pregnancy.
The pregnant woman, after several days of observation, was discharged home in good general condition. We keep our fingers crossed for both babies, who, like their mother, tolerated the procedure well.
