Product Description
The study of gynaecology and pelvic floor disorders is a rapidly developing area for gynaecologists all around the world. An essential aspect to the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders is a need for expertise in cystourethroscopy to:
Accurately diagnose conditions of the lower urinary tract that frequently present to the gynaecologists in the form of pelvic pain, bleeding or lower urinary tract symptoms of frequency, urgency or incontinence.
Endoscopy is also important for the gynaecologist to exclude damage of the urinary tract at the time of surgery which may be for stress incontinence, prolapse or other pelvic surgery e.g. hysterectomy, where there urinary tract may be at risk. This damage may involve the lower urinary tract by the inadvertent placement of sutures into the bladder wall or unrecognised injury to the bladder or urethra which can result in fistula formation. The upper urinary tract is also at risk during pelvic surgery by the inappropriate placement of sutures or clamps and can result in ureteric obstruction or fistula formation. Gynaecologists have little training or expertise in the use of cystourethroscopy and therefore do not feel comfortable in performing this procedure or distinguishing what is normal and what is abnormal. Increasingly, cystourethroscopy is becoming an essential part of the performance of surgery for stress incontinence and prolapse.
The aim of this book is to educate gynaecologists in endoscopy of the urinary tract to give them a good understanding of the equipment that is used, how it is used and the conditions of the lower urinary tract they may find in the treatment of pelvic disorders.
