The guide to effective practice management of precancerous lesions in cervix and lower genital tract. This third edition contains in-depth examination of the different modalities that contribute to the safe and scientific management of precancerous lesions in the female genital tract. One of the most important is colposcopy which provides an accurate and effective route to their identification. Professor Albert Singer is internationally recognized as a master of colposcopy. His training courses throughout the world are in high demand. In this edition, he has teamed with fellow expert Ashfaq Khan to present a very accessible, authoritative and highly illustrated guide to the power of colposcopy. Practical pictorial guidance to recognizing potentially cancerous abnormalities in the cervix, vagina, and vulva is framed by internationally agreed disease classifications. Consensus guidelines from the US and Europe provide a rigorous platform for management advice. The latest information on HPV, the role of biomarkers, and new methods in diagnosis and treatment are all featured. Cervical and Lower Genital Tract Precancer is the ideal companion for anyone wishing to incorporate safe and scientific methods of diagnosis and treatment into their clinical practice.

The new Second Edition of Lower Genital Tract Precancer has been extensively revised and expanded to provide a definitive and contemporary reference on this subject. Providing a comprehensive examination of the applications and benefits of modern diagnostic and therapeutic practices in managing lesions of the female lower genital tract, the book is presented in a clear, easy-to-read style and is extensively illustrated. The text covers investigative procedures and techniques, reviews the normal and abnormal cervix and fully appraises the diagnosis and management of both benign and malignant lesions. Vaginal, vulvular and perianal premalignant diseases are discused, and a separate section is devoted to those conditions which mimic, and can thus be confused with, precancer. A new section on AIDS has been included and an entire chapter on pathology is also incorporated.

At over 600 pages, with more than 400 illustrations and photographs this text spans everything from embryology to the emotional trauma women undergo when their cervix is removed at hysterectomy. This is also the most up-to-date text in the field - The editors have referenced work to 2006(and will continue to until the text goes to press), whilst still including all the classic research material and images where appropriate. Essential for gynecologists, oncologists, basic scientists especially those involved in HPV (viral)research, GPs, nurses, colposcopy prctitioners, and sexual transmitted disease doctors The only definitive major clinical reference book published on the cervix for thirty years Including the most up-to-date research on HPV including up-to-date vaccine trial data Highly illustrated in colour including many surgical procedures Spanning the entire field from embryology to cancer to emotional trauma International editorship, with leading names in the field Cervical cancer is the second biggest cause of female cancer mortality worldwide and therefore relevant to the developing and developed world Specific chapters related to management of cervical cancer in the developing world Summaries of recommendations by international bodies including the IARC conference (Lyon 2004), dealing with cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment The Editors, Jordan and Singer, are the co-founders of the British Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology

While cancer affects primarily the elderly, it also occurs in younger age groups, with different implications specifically relating to reproduction. Cancer can also occur during pregnancy itself. This brings together two diverse areas of medicine, encompassing the complexity of cancer and its varied biology and the equally challenging areas of fertility, conception and pregnancy. The 55th RCOG Study Group brought together a range of experts to examine these issues. This book presents the findings of the Study Group, with sections covering: • epidemiology, genetics and basic principles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy • fertility issues and paediatric cancers • gynaecological cancers and precancer • diagnostic dilemmas • the placenta • non-gynaecological cancers • multidisciplinary care and service provision.

The first two editions of this book were published by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP). This product is considered the standard of colposcopy and has the reputation of being the best selling educational teaching module for the physician, resident, or advanced practice clinician who wishes to bridge the gap between the obvious need for increased early detection of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar disease and the intensive education required for colposcopy. The purpose of the society and the book is to provide education about the lower genital tract through the use of colposcopy. This includes the disciplines of pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, preventive medicine, basic research, gynecologic oncology, and endocrinology which are relevant to the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease processes of the lower genital tract. Features Include: •1815 color images; • Complete coverage of HPV related diseases, colposcopy and related topics; • Chapters added on adolescents and the expanding field of anal screening, diagnosis of anal HPV related precancer and cancer through high resolution anoscopy and treatment of anal and perianal neoplastic disease; • Updated algorithms and guidelines; • Companion website that includes searchable text, images and more.

Presenting the basis for gynecological studies in South Africa, this comprehensive examination, compiled by 32 leaders in the field, describes the history and basics of gynecology—including genetics, embryology, anatomy, physiology, and cytology bioethics. Incorporating information on the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, HIV/AIDS, abuse and violence against women, and access to gynecological data via electronic media, this third edition includes eight new chapters, a DVD that shows live techniques and procedures, and a quick-reference guide summarizing the salient points of each chapter. An invaluable resource for undergraduates, postgraduate students, and practicing physicians, the topics covered in this authoritative handbook apply not only to sub-Saharan Africa but to any developing community.

Die Chirurgie ist ein zentraler Bestandteil des klinischen Curriculums in der Gynäkologie. Bonney's Gynaecological Surgery ist seit 1911 das Referenzwerk zu chirurgischen Eingriffen in der Gynäkologie. Dieses Fachbuch richtet sich an Assistenzärzte in der Geburtshilfe und Gynäkologie und legt den Schwerpunkt auf häufig durchzuführende Eingriffe. Die 12. Auflage bietet einen Abschnitt mit Farbfotos, konzentriert sich noch stärker auf grundlegende klinische Fertigkeiten, enthält Aktualisierungen zu laparoskopischen und robotergestützten Verfahren sowie neue Kapitel zu medizinrechtlichen Fragen. Jedes Kapitel ist einheitlich aufgebaut und führt den Leser durch die einzelnen Techniken ? Anatomie, Hinweise zu postoperativen Aspekten und Komplikationen. Herausragend sind die in ihrer Qualität einzigartigen Illustrationen zu chirurgischen Eingriffen. Damit ist dieses Referenzwerk nach wie vor ein wertvolles Nachschlagewerk für alle angehenden Fachärzte der chirurgischen Gynäkologie.
