Gynecological Surgery: Treatise on Pathophysiology, Surgical Techniques and Clinical Correlation
Gynecology and Obstetrics · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
The safe execution of any gynecological procedure requires absolute mastery of the anatomy of the female pelvis. The pelvic space should not be considered a static structure, but rather a dynamic three-dimensional volume organized into real and virtual compartments, divided by fascia and retroperitoneal spaces.
