Customer Reviews

Great book
Great book, especially for gyn and urogyn procedures. The illustrations are the most life-like I have ever seen. I highly recommend this book. A note - there is a small portion concerning obstetric procedures, which although well illustrated, is not necessarily the most accurate.

The only atlas you will ever need
Best book that I own, covers every gyn surgery that you will ever THINK of doing. Descriptions of the procedures even give you tips on appropriate suture to use and technique. Cadaveric dissections and illustrations are excellent. First heard about the book after I went to a conference hosted by the authors and they put a great effort into making this book. Is well worth the price.

Outstanding book
Every surgeon that works in pelvic region must have this book.

Excellent book for beginners in pelvic surgery
