This extensive collection of images, including photographs, charts, tables, algorithms, and diagrams, is an invaluable reference and teaching tool.

From the reviews of the second edition:

“The book is divided into fourteen chapters which include treatment of faecal incontinence and rectovaginal fistulas. Chapters start with short introduction and then the rest of the chapter is based on illustrations with extended legends which serves the purpose very well in delivering the message and is in an easy to remember format. It has 233 figures and 57 tables. … it serves as a useful atlas. The book comes with a CD which basically includes the contents of the book.” (The International Continence Society, Vol. 6 (2), July, 2010)

“This book covers urogynaecology in pictures, drawings, tables and images. … covers the field so well that it actually stands as a reasonable textbook for trainees.

The tables in the book are appropriate summaries not only for history taking, conducting examinations and arranging investigations, minded by differential diagnosis and treatment options, but for patient counselling as well. The book is accompanied by a CD.” (Sharif I. M. F. Ismail, International Urogynecology Journal, Vol. 20, 2009)
