FOREWORD We take great pleasure in
presenting you with the 3rd book of proceedings of Controversies in
Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility which summarizes the 3rd world
congress in Washington D.C. The book is solely devoted to controversial
issues in the field and represents a unique source of updated knowledge
for the general practitioner.
Over the years, the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology
is witnessing enormous expansion in clinical and basic data as well as
tremendous growth in field-related technology. This growth has also
created a greater need to debate the many controversial issues that have
subsequently arisen.
As evident from the content of the book, the
controversies presented encompass the main unresolved issues of our
profession. The various chapters presented here consolidate the knowledge
but also outline the gaps and lack of evidence to support certain clinical
practices.
We believe that the readers will find the chapter
stimulating as a source of updating their knowledge and helpful in the
handling of clinical problems.
