New innovations in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have opened up many diverse options for the treatment of infertility. As a diagnostic tool, a combined laporoscopic and hysteroscopic examination is the optimum means of evaluating infertility. Gynaecological endoscopic surgeries have changed and improved, with the result that procedures once considered difficult are now routinely performed by laparoscopy. Further advantages include shortened post-operative hospital stay, reduced discomfort, usually lesser costs, and most importantly the ability to diagnose and treat simultaneously. This book presents descriptions of all current possible endoscopic surgical procedures in the treatment of infertility. A total of 23 chapters by expert surgeons and authors provide the latest information, divided into four sub-sections - general, uterus, tubes and ovaries. The content of the book is written in a clear simple style, giving practical advice throughout, and is supported by an interactive CD-ROM of recorded surgical techniques. "Endoscopy in Infertility" will be an invaluable tool for the next generation of gynaecologists who will need to learn the laporoscopic techniques requisite for surgery, as well as a reference source for endoscopic surgeons and infertility specialists.
