Perinatal

Perinatology is a division that deals with high-risk pregnancies. This discipline requires a 3-year special education following residency of gynecology and obstetrics. Prepartum, partum and postpartum risks are analyzed, numerous fetal and/or maternal diseases are diagnosed before the birth, they are treated and followed up and invasive (diagnostic and therapeutic) procedures are carried out; problems that may occur in multiple pregnancies are detected, fetal anomalies are diagnosed early, chromosomal abnormalities are screened, miscarriages and still births are prevented and their treatments are completed.
