I hope the readers like the book as much as I enjoyed reading this. This is a very well-written case-based, practical guide to the management of ectopic pregnancy. The book discusses criteria and diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy as well as its many types. It is an excellent resource for practicing clinicians, residents, and the students alike. Composed exclusively of clinical cases covering ectopic pregnancy, this concise, practical casebook will provide clinicians in reproductive medicine and obstetrics/gynecology with the best real-world strategies to properly diagnose and treat the various forms of the condition they may encounter. Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment, and the management techniques used to treat it, as well as the case outcome and clinical pearls and pitfalls. Cases included illustrate different management strategies—from treatment with methotrexate to surgical interventions—as well as types of ectopic pregnancy, such as ovarian, interstitial, heterotopic, and abdominal forms, among others. This outstanding book includes the following chapters:
