In women, the embryogenesis, anatomy, and function of the lower urinary and genital systems are so interconnected that physicians must be knowledgeable about how pathologies and surgical interventions involving one system may have effects on the function of the other. Hurt (obstetrics and gynecology, U. of Cincinnati, and Director of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati) presents 11 articles by gynecological and urological surgeons, beginning with chapters on embryology, anatomy, and physiology. The remaining chapters look at specific surgical issues, placing emphasis on establishing a precise preoperative diagnosis and understanding the specific goals of surgical therapy. Annotation c.
