Uterine Fibroids
About this book

This new text from an acknowledged expert at a major regional referral center fully reviews the relevant diagnostic factors as well as the potential new medical treatments and current thinking about the various - sometimes controversial - surgical options available for management.
Print versions of this book also include access to the eBook version with links to procedural videos.
