The study of female urology and pelvic floor disorders is a rapidly developing area for gynecologists and urologists around the world. Of enormous benefit in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary and pelvic floor disorders is an expertise in endoscopy of the lower urinary tract (cystourethroscopy) and pelvis (laparoscopy). Accurate diagnosis is an essential precursor to treatment for all pelvic floor clinicians.

However, gynecologists in particular have little training in the use of cystourethroscopy and therefore often do not feel comfortable in performing this procedure or distinguishing what is normal from what is abnormal.

Peter Dwyer's Atlas of Urogynelogical Endoscopy is an excellent tool for educating pelvic surgeons in endoscopy of the lower urinary tract and pelvis. Extremely well-illustrated with over 300 outstanding colour photographs, this highly illustrated text addresses the needs of the pelvic surgeon learning the art of cystourethroscopic techniques. Written clearly and concisely, it provides the reader with a full understanding of the equipment that is used, how it is used, how it is used and the different conditions of the lower urinary tract which they may find during the diagnosis and treatment of female lower urinary and pelvic disorders.
