Description: "New thinking and advances in surgery have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of common gynecologic conditions. Endometriosis, uterine fibroids, utero-vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence, ovarian neoplasms, and adhesions are but a few of the areas where even a general gynecologist needs to be aware of the new opportunities offered and requisite competencies. Additionally, in parallel with the current trend to delay pregnancy, there is an increasing realization within gynecologic surgery that fertility preservation should be a principal aim whenever possible. As part of this change of emphasis, reproductive surgery is becoming reconnected with mainstream gynecologic surgery. This ground-breaking book from a highly distinguished editorial team educates surgeons on the techniques and procedures now needed in both reconstructive and reproductive surgery in gynecology; it is illustrated by schematic artwork and color photographs of operative procedures"--Provided by publisher.
