Book Description
This volume presents a fully comprehensive update of fallopian tube physiology and provides a practical guide to the clinical aspects related to them. The first part of the book consists of chapters on basic science of the fallopian tubes, which explain how specific aspects relate to infertility and contraception. In the second half, assessment of tubal function, conditions that compromise tubal function, surgical and non-surgical management approaches to various types of tubal pathology, fertility control (contraception) and future aspects of tubal research are covered in chapters written by world-renowned experts in these fields. The last decade has seen significant advances in the study of tubal physiology using novel methods, and our understanding of the involvement of fallopian tubes in the development of ovarian cancer has changed fundamentally. At the same time success rates of IVF have improved significantly, with the aid of better understanding of tubal function. Fallopian Tube: Physiology and Clinical Aspects will thus be of tremendous interest and utility to both basic scientists and clinicians who are involved in the management of infertility and contraception.
