About this title

Review

Easy to read and well referenced... useful for a wide range of health professionals and simple enough for the motivated patient or carer to read. For the gynaecologist it forms a resource for current thinking as well as an aide memoire. It will probably find its niche as a text for primary care physicians, physiotherapists and nurses.

[The authors]... provide an excellent introduction in a short space. The book is well laid out and easy to read.
