Ambulatory hysteroscopy

About this book

Medicine on the whole is becoming less invasive and at the same time there is an increasing demand by patients for day case surgery. Hysteroscopy, once seen as the domain of the super-specialist has come of age and is now recognized as one of the core disciplines of modern day gynaecological practice. Ambulatory Hysteroscopy -- Diagnosis and Practice, provides an exhaustive account of office and outpatient gynaecological procedures. This book, edited by three internationally respected clinicians and innovators with a distinguished team of contributors is set to become the standard reference work on the subject. 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. This book will be an essential reference work for both trainee and practising gynaecologists as well as senior nursing staff and all those working in outpatient gynaecological clinics. Book jacket.
