| Abstract |
"The 5th edition of Infertility in the Male continues to be the gold standard in the field of Infertility Urology. The editors represent three generations of pioneers and leaders in the field. Within the text, each has brought their own editorial skills and writing acumen. This classic is up to date as in the past. This is a rapidly changing field stimulated by the introduction to society of IVF, ICSI and MESA. 40 years ago, infertility in the male was a sleepy, not very interesting pursuit. Today it is exploding with new information, cures, and insights. As in many fields, genetics has had a profound affect. Surgical procedures as well as basic science research has changed hyperbolically"-- Provided by publisher. |
