Description
Established as a definitive reference for the IVF clinic, the fifth edition has been extensively revised, with the addition of several important new contributions on clinical topics, including GnRH agonist triggering, segmentation of IVF treatment, uterus transplantation, and risk and safety management. As previously, methods, protocols, and techniques of choice are presented by IVF pioneers and eminent international experts.
