La medicina periconcezionale è quella branca della medicina materno-fetale che si occupa della coppia prima del concepimento (periodo preconcezionale) e della gravidanza che segue fino alla 22° settimana di gestazione. Colma in questo modo un vuoto specialistico che persiste da circa tre lustri: il vuoto tra la medica della riproduzione e la medicina perinatale.L’obiettivo di questo volume è di sistematizzare una branca che si occupi della coppia desiderosa di prole prima che la gestazione abbia inizio, con il principio di guardarsi bene dal medicalizzare la fisiologia della riproduzione e quello invece di seguirne le movenze per intervenire, se necessario, al momento giusto.In questo modo gli Autori vogliono indirettamente diffondere l’idea che la gravidanza deve essere sempre una scelta ragionata, intelligente ma frutto di amore, e non un caso. La medicina periconcezionale costituisce l’espressione del concetto fondamentale di continuo tra la vita preconcezionale e quella intrauterina e rappresenta un nuovo ponte specialistico, quello riproduttivo-perinatale, che unisce branche affini ma diverse e che ha solide, proprie f ondamenta e ambiti di ricerca e di didattica specifici.  

Urogynaecological problems are one of the most common reasons that women are referred to the hospital services, and can account for up to a fifth of the gynaecological surgery waiting list at any time. Pelvic floor problems can have a huge impact on the patient's quality of life, and therefore should be managed appropriately. Compact, portable, and comprehensive, this new addition to the Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Obstetrics and Gynaecology series covers all aspects of pelvic floor function and dysfunction, and approaches to assessment and management in all compartments (the bladder, reproductive system, and bowel). Special chapters are dedicated to urogynaecological issues in pregnancy and childbirth, and also to the effects of age on the pelvic floor. Covering all material needed for those undertaking the RCOG Advanced Training Skills Module in Urogynaecology and Vaginal Surgery, this is an invaluable guide for both senior general trainees in Gynaecology, and subspecialty trainees in urogynaecology.

È uscito un testo originale, sia per i contenuti – poco trattati in letteratura – che per i destinatari, che illustra in modo chiaro e puntuale tutti gli Aspetti Rieducativi ed il Trattamento Riabilitativo del PAVIMENTO PELVICO. Gli Autori, il Prof. Ludovico Docimo e il Prof. Luigi Brusciano esaminano l’anatomia e fisiologia del pavimento pelvico e delle altre strutture ed apparati coinvolti nelle complesse funzioni che incidono talvolta in misura determinante sulla qualità di vita. Il testo è molto interessate non solo per chirurghi, gastroenterologi, ginecologi, urologi, ma anche per fisiatri e riabilitatori e può essere facilmente compreso dagli stessi pazienti che, guidati dallo specialista che li segue, saranno in grado di prendere coscienza del proprio corpo in una fase complessa di sfiducia. Schemi, disegni, esempi pratici e testi funzionali specifici aiutano il malato a vedere la possibilità di un recupero spesso “insperato”, attraverso un iter che prevede una fase di rieducazione e una di riabilitazione, grazie ad un percorso speciale per raggiungere la padronanza di muscoli e funzioni preda di automatismi istintivi errati. INTRODUZIONE Abbiamo pensato alla realizzazione di un testo originale, sia per i contenuti – poco trattati dalla letteratura - che per gli eventuali destinatari; in particolare, abbiamo cercato di illustrare conoscenze fondamentali – talvolta trascurate – di anatomia e fisiologia del pavimento pelvico e delle altre strutture ed apparati coinvolti nelle complesse funzioni che si esplicano in tale distretto, facendo riferimento ad abitudini quotidiane che sostengono condizioni patologiche di vari organi ed apparati, che incidono talvolta in misura determinante sulla qualità di vita.  Il testo, espressione della nostra esperienza, può assumere particolare interesse per differenti campi di speculazione, e cioè per specialisti che operano in questo distretto anatomico: chirurghi, gastroenterologi, ginecologi, urologi, ma anche per fisiatri e riabilitatori, che intendono approfondire e disporre di un riferimento sulle dinamiche del pavimento pelvico, attraverso un semplice e graduale approfondimento, di facile comprensione – anche diretta – per gli stessi pazienti, che di tale approccio possono beneficiarsi, capaci di prendere coscienza del proprio corpo in una fase complessa di sfiducia. Alla base di questo percorso occorre che si raggiunga la padronanza delle strutture coinvolte, muscoli e funzioni preda di automatismi istintivi errati, per la corretta impostazione del trattamento riabilitativo, che prevede una fase di rieducazione e una di riabilitazione. Schemi, disegni, esempi pratici e testi funzionali specifici rendono direttamente comprensibile anche al malato la possibilità di un recupero spesso “insperato”, attraverso un iter riabilitativo che diventa una vera e propria disciplina.  Gli Autori

Since the publication of the 1/e in 1977, Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract has consolidated its position as the leading textbook of gynecological pathology. An essential reference for all pathologists and residents, this thoroughly updated Seventh Edition includes more than 1400 illustrations in color, informative tables and 22 revised chapters written by internationally recognized experts. Discussion of each specific entity is organized to include general information, etiology, and epidemiology followed by clinical features, pathologic findings, differential diagnosis, clinical behavior, and treatment. This clear organization is applied throughout the book and allows the reader to quickly access key information in every chapter. Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract remains the gold-standard reference for practicing pathologists and trainees, as well as for obstetric/gynecology practitioners and residents.

Since the publication of the Third Series Fascicle of the Uterine Corpus nearly thirty years ago, molecular discoveries have deepened our understanding of epithelial, mesenchymal, and mixed mullerian tumors of the uterus, fueling a new and still evolving classification of the different categories of uterine neoplasms. Enormous insights have been made to refine the classification of the different subtypes of endometrial carcinoma linked to important prognostic and therapeutic implications. At the same time, molecular findings have allowed for the discovery of familial syndromes associated with uterine corpus neoplasms, and identification of patients at increased risk for developing specific tumors, with the subsequent implementation of genetic counseling and appropriate treatment guidelines. Molecular underpinnings have also assisted in the development of new and potentially more predictive morphologic criteria for endometrial preneoplasia, namely the endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (or EIN) system. In this Uterine Corpus Fascicle, there is an increased emphasis on the cytopathologic (intraoperative, exfoliative, or fine needle aspiration) and molecular features that are important in diagnosis and prognosis. What does not change from the three previous series, however, is the goal of providing the reader with thorough, concise, and up-to-date information on the nomenclature and classification; epidemiologic, clinical, and pathogenetic features; and, most importantly, guidance in the diagnosis of the tumors and tumorlike lesions of all major organ systems and body sites. Order the Tumors of the Uterine Corpus and Trophoblastic Diseases now to take advantage of these new discoveries and techniques for diagnosing and treating these types of tumors.
