Summary

Modern Management of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding focuses on helping gynecologists refine their operative techniques and consider new approaches to the diagnosis, and treatment, of this highly challenging condition by investigating:A? current scientific and clinical trails A? varying menstruation conditions A? less evasive management options versus surgical options A? definitive surgical corrections A? new forms of conservative therapy Written by an internationally recognized team of experts and filled with scientific diagrams, photos, and illustrations, this cutting-edge new text covers the full range of surgical and medical treatments for menorrhagia, including the full rage of ablation corrections in an easy to read step-by-step format.A
