From reviews of the first edition:

"This is a very apt and concise book on the subject … but also provides evidence-based discussion of other complex situations such as managing hydrosalpinges and fibroids … This book should be read by every specialist dealing with large numbers of patients undergoing IVF as they will encounter these patients and will benefit from up-to-date and accurate data presented here." (Highly Commended, Obstetrics & Gynaecology Category, 2006 BMA Medical Book Competition)
