Female Pelvic Health and Reconstructive Surgery PDF

Preface

In the year 2000, the American Board of Urology and the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology established a combined subspecialty entitled Female Pelvic Health and Reconstructive Surgery. The motivation for this decision was to emphasize and promote collaborative efforts between the specialties to further our understanding of pelvic floor disorders. As such, we embarked on this effort to establish this volume as a representation of those collaborative efforts.

This volume provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage of female pelvic health and reconstructive surgery. It is a compilation of contributions from many experts who specialize in the treatment of pelvic floor disorders. It will serve as an invaluable resource for investigators in the field and practitioners who treat pelvic floor disorders. Likewise, it will be an effective educational tool for both residents and medical students.

We have enjoyed this effort greatly. As the two fields develop this area of interest further, we hope that this type of collaboration and cooperation continues.
