Covering all aspects of gynecology commonly encountered in day-to-day practice, this exhaustive work provides a practical, one-stop reference work for clinicians working in the field.

The handbook concludes with an easy-to-navigate presentation of minimally-invasive operations, surgical procedures, neoplasms, and pathology. Advantages and risks associated with management of particular diseases are covered, along with multiple tips for avoiding complications. Edited by experts and presenting the most recent developments in gynecological practice, The Handbook of Gynecology is an invaluable reference for OB/GYNs, family medicine and internal medicine clinicians, medical students, residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers.​
