Mastering Emergency Medicine: A Practical Guide. 1st Edition

Excellent up-to-date accounts are given of clinical practice in endometriosis, recurrent miscarriage and post-menopausal bleeding. Moreover, the historical practice of ovarian surgery for polycystic ovarian syndrome is re-examined with the benefits of laparoscopy. Two thirds of women can ovulate after ovarian surgery with half conceiving within twelve months. However, women with raised BMI or infertility lasting greater than three years appear to be resistant to surgery. The role of insulin resistance in polycystic ovarian syndrome is afforded a further detailed chapter for those with an academic interest.
