Books

Ambulatory Hysteroscopy - Diagnosis and Treatment

Bruno J Van Herendael, Rafael Valle, Stefano Bettocchi
The text is exhaustive in its coverage with early chapters describing diagnostic tests and instrumentation, this is followed by detailed descriptions and guidance on operative procedures; with the final section of the text devoted to the practical management of the office outpatient team and patient counselling. Complementary techniques such as ultrasound, saline infusion sonography are dealt with in detail. The text benefits from full colour illustrations and the use of key points and summaries.
