General Gynecology
 The
general Gynecological Service at
St. John's Mercy Medical Center is composed
of cases from the Resident Continuity of Care Clinic as well as cases provided
by the general gynecological attending physicians. Approximately 1,600 major
cases and 1,000 minor cases occur in the five Gyn-dedicated Operating Rooms.
Residents evaluate the patients in the preoperative area and participate
fully in the surgical procedures under the guidance of the attending staff
and faculty. The large number of surgeries provides rapid advancement in
the acquisition of surgical techniques. Abdominal and vaginal hysterectomies
are the bread and butter of the gynecological inpatient rotation as well
as training in dilation and curettage, diagnostic & operative hysteroscopy,
and laparoscopy.
Daily rounds are performed by the residents,
while attending rounds occur weekly with one of the faculty. This busy and
dynamic service provides the core of the gynecological experience for the
residents during their four year experience.
Fourth year electives are available for visiting student physicians.
