Practical Guide to Office Procedures in Gynecology and Urogynecology

Office-based procedures offer numerous advantages – they require less time, provide a familiar and more comfortable environment, cause less anxiety, are more economical than hospital-based surgery, offer co-pay options, involve less risk of infection and have reduced anaesthesia requirements.

Beginning with an introduction to patient safety and legal issues, the following chapters discuss gynaecological ultrasound and then numerous procedures that may be carried out in the office setting, including surgery. The final chapter is dedicated to cosmetic procedures.
