Description
This new edition is a comprehensive guide to recurrent pregnancy loss for practising gynaecologists.

The third edition has been fully revised and expanded to bring clinicians fully up to date with the latest advances in the field.
Newer treatment options are covered in depth and the latest diagnostic recommendations from the RCOG (UK) as well as the ACOG (US) are included.
Authored by a team of internationally recognised experts, the text is enhanced by clinical photographs and diagrams, and features a comprehensive appendix section for further reference.
