Full Description
This book gives a multidisciplinary perspective on complications of female pelvic surgery. The confined space of the pelvis precludes a clear separation of the pelvic surgical disciplines, and pelvic surgery is therefore multidisciplinary by nature. This work addresses this overlap by featuring three editors, one from each of the major pelvic surgery disciplines: gynecology, urology, and colorectal surgery. The chapters are broken down into medical, surgical, and procedure-related complications, and address each complication's background, prevention, recognition, and management. Written by experts in the field, this book is an easy-to-use resource for all surgeons who perform pelvic operations.
