Pregnancies in gynecologic oncologists: An assessment of pregnancy policies and complications within a surgical subspecialty

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the pregnancy-related experiences, complications, and institutional policies regarding workload adjustments for gynecologic oncologists. Their survey of 276 respondents revealed high rates of pregnancy complications, including a 25% preterm delivery rate, and indicated that very few had access to policies for work-hour reductions during pregnancy. The findings underscore the need for improved support and explicit policies to accommodate the unique challenges faced by pregnant gynecologic oncologists.
