Providing comprehensive coverage, the book examines each pathology on the basis of concrete images, offering readers support with the diagnostic evaluation.

Simpler procedures such as IUD removal or endometrial biopsy are also covered. Includes management of complications, falloposcopy and the future of hysteroscopy.
Many benign gynaecological conditions can now be safely diagnosed, investigated and managed in the outpatient or 'office' setting. Handbook of Outpatient Hysteroscopy is a concise, highly practical, guide to modern practice, concentrating not simply on the surgical interventions in an ambulatory one-stop 'see and treat' setting, but providing clear guidelines to best practice based on the evidence currently available. The authors consider the conditions in gynaecology with which patients most frequently present in the clinic or outpatient department - abnormal bleeding problems, HRT/menopause related problems, reproductive medicine and fertility control. The first of its kind in this rapidly developing area, Handbook of Outpatient Hysteroscopy provides a practical reference for those setting up a hysteroscopy service, and for all trainees in gynaecology who will encounter the procedure during training. It will be a valuable resource for gynaecologists in training and in practice, plus primary care physicians with an interest in gynaecology, community gynaecologists and nurse hysteroscopists.
This book is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference on general and subspecialty gynecology. Covering all aspects of gynecology commonly encountered in day-to-day practice, this exhaustive and fully updated new edition provides a practical, one-stop reference work for clinicians working in the field. This carefully-designed volume includes ten sections, beginning with comprehensive coverage of office-based gynecology, and continuing on to present disease processes and management information by patient age group. Each chapter includes background information, current recommendations for screening, diagnostic criteria, common and uncommon associated problems, approach to diagnosis, summary of treatment options, and an overview of ICD-10 codes for specific diagnoses. Importantly, many areas that are covered in the handbook as subspecialty problems are pertinent and important information to many of the general practitioners who handle and develop some expertise in these areas. These include ovulation induction, medical management of incontinence, management of abnormal Pap smears, and work-up of abnormal bleeding. The handbook concludes with an easy-to-navigate presentation of minimally-invasive operations, surgical procedures, neoplasms, and pathology. Advantages and risks associated with management of particular diseases are covered, along with multiple tips for avoiding complications. This second edition is fully updated. With extensive updates on cervical cancer screening, pelvic organ prolapse, and more, many chapters will be completely rewritten to reflect the latest guidelines, procedures, and methods of care in women’s health.

A logical approach to formulating a pathologic diagnosis from the diverse array of tissue received in the surgical pathology laboratory. The authors are both prominent gynaecologic pathologists, and this book is the result of their long-running Short Course presented at the International Academy of Pathology. Illustrations show typical artefacts and distortion and explain their impact on diagnostic interpretation, and each chapter includes a section on "Clinical Queries and Reporting" that summarises the features to be discussed in the final pathology report. Here is a strongly didactic approach to one of the most frequently ordered pathological examinations. You find superb illustrations on virtually every page and fast answers to everyday questions since emphasis is placed on clinically relevant material: commonly encountered specimens, common problems and common diagnostic issues.
