This book was created to answer the need for a clear, practical, and evidence-based reference in urogynecology. As an important and growing subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology, urogynecology deals with conditions that strongly affect women’s health and quality of life. However, these conditions are often not given enough space in many educational resources.
Each chapter has been written by respected colleagues who kindly shared their clinical experience and academic knowledge. Their careful work has made this book possible. I sincerely thank every author for their scientific effort and contribution.
Our main goal is to provide a resource that is both scientifically reliable and useful in daily practice. We believe this book will be a valuable guide for residents, fellows, and practicing doctors. It will support them in patient care as well as in academic development.
I hope this work will help the progress of urogynecology and encourage further research and collaboration. Most of all, we hope that the knowledge shared here will go beyond the academic setting and improve the health and lives of the women we serve.
