Textbook of Female Urology and Urogynecology, Volume 1: Clinical Perspectives

The success of the first four editions of the Textbook of Female Urology and Urogynecology (2001, 2006, 2010, 2017) and our desire to continue to provide a timely and relevant reference text-book in an evolving field stimulated us to produce another con-tribution, this fifth edition. We hope, as we did with all previous editions, that we have continued to fulfil our mission to present a book that serves as a foundation for established ideas, a review of the current state of the art and a platform for introducing the dynamic concepts of the future.Over 20 years, the textbook has evolved from a single volume of seven sections and approximately 1000 pages – to a two volume, ten section, 1300-page version. We are grateful to those who have served as section editors – introduced in the second edition. These section editors are an invaluable part of the process. We specifically selected the section editors and authors to represent an international approach to the numerous female urogenital health disorders to produce a good balance of knowledge, and expertise, despite the polarization of ideas that can occur as a natural product of geography, training, and interests. We recognize that there is a significant overlap between female urology and urogynecology. However, there are also important differences, and we hope that these are reflected by having a balance between the healthcare professionals who have edited and authored the chapters. Please allow us to take pride in the fact that many of the authors who contributed as co-authors in the early editions are now distinguished clinicians, department chairs, or editors of their own textbooks. We are humbled by their efforts. Similarly, we are indebted to the publishers, who have expertly facilitated the organization and production of all five editions.
