Differing from the many texts currently available, this book is not intended as a surgical atlas to be used solely for guidance on the how to of a particular procedure. Instead, it provides guidance on not only how to, but also when to and why - the technical aspects of the diagnosis and explanations of the appropriateness of treatment. The authors balance coverage of etiology, diagnosis, and management with coverage of surgery and assisted reproductive technologies, discussing the rationale for choosing one technique over another. Grounded in evidence-based medicine, the book emphasizes outcomes analysis as a guideline for management.
