Description: Considered by many to be the gold-standard text in gynecology. Organized into eight sections, this comprehensive and general gynecological textbook provides guidance for the management of specific gynecological conditions. The first two sections cover principles of practice and initial assessment and the relevant basic science. The third section is on preventive and primary care for women, and the remaining five sections are directed at methods of diagnosis and management in general gynecology, operative general gynecology, urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, reproductive endocrinology, and gynecologic oncology.
