Great book, especially for gyn and urogyn procedures. The illustrations are the most life-like I have ever seen. I highly recommend this book. A note - there is a small portion concerning obstetric procedures, which although well illustrated, is not necessarily the most accurate.

The book, with its excellent-quality pictures and straight-to-the-point texts, is just as good as it was in the last edition. I thought the major plus would be the DVD. I was disappointed with the video though for it is rather boring and the person narrating it is chewing gun the entire time which makes it very annoying to listen to it. Would still buy it again though. It is a must have to any obgyn resident.

Best book that I own, covers every gyn surgery that you will ever THINK of doing. Descriptions of the procedures even give you tips on appropriate suture to use and technique. Cadaveric dissections and illustrations are excellent. First heard about the book after I went to a conference hosted by the authors and they put a great effort into making this book. Is well worth the price.

I really had high hopes for this book because of how amazing other residents had said it was. I was really disappointed with the book. I am writing so other ob/gyn residents evaluate carefully if they want to spend over $200 in this book as opposed to other sources.

The concept of a book with so many pictures detailing procedures is great, i think we learn better with visual aids. Now the execution of the idea is horrible. Pictures are bad, they lack detail completely and there is no arrowing. The pictures look as if they had been taken with a low profile 20$ camera that you would give a 10 year old boy to take to his vacation trip. I dont even think that the person taking the pictures even srubbed in to be closer. I really think that a book like this deserves the highest detail and use of high end cameras with macro-zooms and anything else available to make the illustrations better. The drawings are good but not really anything special, not any better than just looking at Telinde's illustrations.

The text that accompanies the pictures isn't breathtaking either and the explanations for the surgeries are confusing oftentimes.

The new edition which I just got, includes a dvd with some guy doing dissection on a cadaver and talking about it, there are NO videos or animations of surgeries which disappoi.ted me even more!!

If you have 236$ laying around and you don't mind the money and just want to add it to your collection in your shelf get it. If you really want to spend your money wisely, I would first go to my hospital's library and look at procedures I am familiar with to see if it's really possible for me to learn the other ones from this book.

I hope this was helpful!! I would have apprrciated the advice!

Every surgeon that works in pelvic region must have this book.

Excellent book for beginners in pelvic surgery
