IVF in the Medically Complicated Patient

Each patient seeking assisted reproduction has a unique set of circumstances that affects the outcome of treatment. Particularly challenging are those patients with pre-existing medical conditions or those receiving medical therapies that may impact the safety and success of their IVF treatments. Prior identification and preparation of the patient at increased risk of complications will enable the clinician to avoid problems in advance, anticipate the necessary management, and optimize outcomes. A new expanded edition of the prize-winning text IVF in the Medically Complicated Patient: A Guide to Management, Second Edition provides a readily accessible, authoritative, and didactic source of information to aid clinicians in this important field. From reviews of the first edition: "This is a very apt and concise book on the subject ... but also provides evidence-based discussion of other complex situations such as managing hydrosalpinges and fibroids ... This book should be read by every specialist dealing with large numbers of patients undergoing IVF as they will encounter these patients and will benefit from up-to-date and accurate data presented here." (Highly Commended, Obstetrics Gynaecology Category, 2006 BMA Medical Book Competition) "This book attempts to highlight an important but neglected area of practice. It is highly original and a much-needed resource for clinicians working in IVF and infertility units." (The Society of Authors and the Royal Society of Medicine Book Awards 2006)
