The current review highlights the complexity of the pediatric and adolescent gynecology subspecialty as well as the recent and exciting opportunities for innovation within the field.
The opportunities for concept, treatment, instrument, and knowledge-transfer innovation to better serve the specific needs of pediatric gynecology patients include novel approaches to neovagina creation using magnets, improving postoperative vaginal wound healing through newly designed and degradable vaginal stents, and complex Mullerian reconstructive surgical planning using virtual reality immersive experiential training.
There is a significant window of opportunity to address the needs of pediatric, adolescent and adult gynecological patients with new innovative concepts and tools.
本综述强调了儿科和青少年妇科亚专科的复杂性,以及该领域内近期令人兴奋的创新机会。
为了更好地满足儿科妇科患者的特殊需求,在概念、治疗、器械和知识转移创新方面存在着机会,包括使用磁铁创建新阴道、通过新设计和可降解阴道支架改善术后阴道伤口愈合,以及使用虚拟现实沉浸式体验培训进行复杂的苗勒氏管重建手术规划。
有一个重要的机会窗口,可以用新的创新理念和工具来满足儿科、青少年和成年妇科患者的需求。
