The Fallopian Tubes

Product Full Description

Quick Overview This book focuses on the state-of-the-art aspects of fallopian tubes including reviews of normal, abnormal, physiologic, biochemical and molecular aspects of the organ. It explains the basic mechanism of inflammatory cell activities, to molecular biology to pathophysiology of different diseases affecting the organ, the therapeutic modalities adopted from time to time as science progresses, from ways of preventing the diseases affecting the organ and the optimum management. Key Features Obstetrics and Gynecology has changed very rapidly with recent advances and techniques. Many new investigative procedures and management protocols have come into existences which were not before. The practice is becoming more evidence-based and the guidelines are rapidly changing. It is so also with the fallopian tubes. The functions of the fallopian tubes are ovum pick-up, transportation of spermatozoa, ovum fertilization, and embryo transport, but still there are many gray areas. Many things about the tubes, we do not know. Our clinical armamentarium is limited to appraisals of the patency of the tubes, examination of the external appearance and texture of the tubes. Little is known about the mechanisms of ovum transport and the importance of synchrony between the ovary and the tubes. To answer few of the questions, the book focuses on the state-of-the-art aspects of fallopian tubes including reviews of normal, abnormal, physiologic, biochemical, and molecular aspects of the organ. It explains the basic mechanism of inflammatory cell activities to molecular biology to pathophysiology of different diseases affecting the organ. The therapeutic modalities adopted from time to time as science progresses from ways of preventing the diseases affecting the organ and the optimum management. Target Audience Postgraduate Students, Practicing Obstetricians and Gynecologists (who deal with the many patients who suffer from tubal diseases).
