Ultrasound plays an integral part in the diagnosis and management of many gynaecological conditions; indeed, ultrasound forms part of the RCOG's mandatory training programme for doctors wishing to specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology. This book will be of use to both trainees and those already in clinical practice looking for a user-friendly reference guide. The use of ultrasound in gynaecology goes well beyond simple picture recognition: a skilful gynaecological sonographer will bring together scan findings and the clinical scenario to enhance patient care. This leads to targeted investigations and strategies for intervention. This book covers all aspects of the use of ultrasound in the fields of gynaecology and early pregnancy, with the contents including: postmenopausal bleeding; adnexal masses; pelvic pain; reproductive medicine; miscarriage; ectopic pregnancy; and ovarian cysts.

This book addresses the disparity between what could be done and what is being done by providing a thorough overview of laparoscopic surgery for benign gynaecology. Topics covered include entry techniques, preoperative imaging, instruments and theatre environment and training, as well as specific laparoscopic procedures. The video clips on the accompanying DVD provide useful demonstrations of some of the key techniques. The book will be an invaluable source of reference for all trainees and consultants looking to develop their skills in laparoscopic surgery and thus provide better care for women.
