Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Despite guidelines published by the European Society for Human Reproduction, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and many other national bodies, the field of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) remains full of controversy. From its definition, two versus three miscarriages, consecutive versus non-consecutive, there is little consensus between guidelines. RPL is a multi-specialty field encompassing obstetricians, gynaecologists, specialists in ART (assisted reproductive technology), endoscopists, endocrinologists, and rheumatologists. Research in the field is limited by the fact that the number of patients affected by RPL is small, and when further divided by different aetiological factors, each centre deals with a small number of patients. This book is a comprehensive guide to RPL for obstetricians, gynaecologists, ART specialists, and trainees. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field. Extensive new research has led to the addition of 13 new chapters which include diagnostic recommendations from the various national societies and colleges. Access to three complimentary videos is included with this invaluable resource. The previous edition (9789352700912) published in 2018.
