Principles and Practice of Assisted Reproductive Technology (2^nd Ed., Vol. 3) Three Volume Set

The second edition of this three-volume set brings practitioners and trainees fully up to date with the latest advances in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).

Volume One begins with an introduction to infertility, describing physiology, endocrinology and infertility in both men and women. The following sections provide in depth discussion on ART, from ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination, and ART techniques, to third party reproduction, complications, outcomes and future clinical applications.

The second volume is dedicated to laboratory aspects of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) andrology, and ethical and legal issues, whilst Volume Three is an atlas of human embryology.

This practical manual is an invaluable reference for clinicians specialising in infertility management and includes more than 1300 full colour photographs, diagrams and tables to enhance understanding.
