Johannes L. Van Der Merwe - Gynecology

Author Information

Johannes L. Van Der Merwe is affiliated with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University Hospitals of the KU Leuven, Herestraat 49, 3000 Leuven, Belgium. Additionally, he is part of the Department of Development and Regeneration, Cluster Woman and Child, at KU Leuven, Herestraat 49, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.

Research Contributions

Johannes L. Van Der Merwe has made significant contributions to the field of gynecology, with a focus on fetal development and pregnancy complications. His recent research includes studies on umbilical venous diameters and flow in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies, neuroprotection in fetal spina bifida repair, and the effects of maternal surgeries on fetal brain development. His work often employs animal models such as rabbits and fetal lambs to explore the impacts of various medical interventions on fetal outcomes. His studies have implications for better understanding and potentially improving prenatal care and fetal surgery techniques.
