There are several possible solutions to the different problems presented with female patients who have been unable to conceive. This completely revised edition is expanded to include medical conditions such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as a comprehensive survey of structural problems. The judicious balancing of respective roles to be played by surgery and by assisted reproductive technology in the solutions to these problems makes this text essential reading for anyone with an interest in clinical practice.
