Synopsis

Assisted Reproduction is one of the fastest growing areas of medicine. Having been introduced in 1978 with the birth of Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby , the field of infertility has been broadened so far that it is no longer a mere sub-category of gynaecology, but is in fact a major medical discipline. The second edition of 'The Infertility Manual' contains innovations and case studies dealing with all aspects of human reproduction:- male and female infertility, gene technology, blastocyst culture and assisted hatching, providing information to both scientists and clinicians at all levels of expertise.
