The fourth trimester of 2023 is scientifically extremely busy with several international congresses taking place in the European Community and Greece in particularly. Novel research in the field of Maternal fetal medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Gynecologic Endoscopy is expected to help advance current concepts in the clinical setting and help establish new grounds for patient management and conduct of future research. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in obstetric care, particularly in the areas of prenatal care, and labor and delivery practices. These developments are helping to improve outcomes for mothers and neonates, and ensure that pregnancy and birth are as safe and healthy as possible. Modern clinical practice shifts towards more individualized care during labor and delivery. This means that rather than adhering to strict protocols, healthcare providers are tailoring their approach to meet the specific needs and preferences of each mother and fetus. This approach helps to ensure that the birth experience is as comfortable and positive as possible.Reproductive health is a crucial aspect of women’s overall well-being, and fertility treatments have come a long way in recent years. With the advent of assisted reproductive technology (ART), there are now more reproductive health options available for individuals and couples hoping to start a family. In the present issue we focus on these areas of obstetric and gynecologic healthcare by including articles that mainly target on maternal and fetal well being during the antenatal and perinatal period.
