Seller's Description:
Minor rubbing. Small chip and bump to rear cover side-edge. VG. 29x21cm, xiv, 558 pp. Contains 40 papers concerning Normal Development; Management of Development Abnormalities of the Genital Tract; Management of Specific Disorders. [From the 'New England Journal of Medicine' review by Elisabeth H. Quint, M. D., May 12, 2005: "The title of this book may suggest that it is a general textbook of pediatric and adolescent gynecology that is unique in its multidisciplinary approach. However, it is actually a more specialized overview of congenital and developmental anomalies of the reproductive tract. It is unique in that it contains extensive discussions and information on the psychological aspects of these complex disorders for patients and their families. The first of the book's three sections discusses normal development, including embryology (a rather short chapter for this type of book), genetics, puberty, and bladder function, with a nice chapter on the psychology of sexual development. The second section, on general management, consists of several chapters that focus on the psychological needs of patients and their parents and includes discussions of communication at the time of diagnosis, as well as complex issues surrounding psychological treatment of patients with disorders of sexual differentiation. Also in this section are chapters on imaging (with a large number of magnetic resonance imaging scans), on laparoscopy and other surgical techniques, and on the dilator technique for women with vaginal agenesis. The third section deals with a wide variety of topics in pediatric and adolescent gynecology., . "]
