As urogynecology faculty at a major university medical center, I have used and recommended this book as a source for residents and fellows for many years. The new edition is even better. I still refer the my on copy of the book on a regualr basis. It is well written, very easy to read, and highly descriptive. This is the only urogynecology book to buy whether you are a resident, fellow, or practicing urogynecologist.

This is a very good, concise, and comprehensive textbook.
Each chapter is well organized and well documented with excellent illustrations. The book offers a detailed description of each topic and different approaches to every urinary and pelvic floor disorder.
The last chapter presents case discussions. It contains a variety of situations accompanied by an analysis and opinions from a selected panel of experts.
This book is essential for any urogynecology fellowship training, and it's a very useful resource for general gynecologists and attending urogynecologists alike.
I highly recommend this book for any physician who seeks to deepen his o her knowledge of the female pelvic floor disorders.

Itn is very useful to clinical work
