About this book
Published in the first edition as Gynaecological Urology for the MRCOG and Beyond, this second edition of Urogynaecology for the MRCOG and Beyond has been comprehensively updated to reflect current clinical practice and developments since the publication of the original edition.
While the upper renal tract remains the sole preserve of the urologist, gynaecologists have traditionally been involved in the assessment and treatment of female lower urinary tract problems. There are sound reasons for this: childbirth is a major causal factor in urogynaecology, and women often present with a combination of menstrual, genital, urinary and colorectal symptoms which require a holistic approach. This book provides a thorough overview of the assessment and treatment of bladder filling and storage disroders, genitourinary prolaspe and colorectal disorders. It covers those aspects of urology that clinicians are likely to encounter in their capacity as general obstetricians and gynaecologists and is essential reading for Part 2 MRCOG candidates and any health professional needing a clear understanding of urogynaecology.
