This book discusses a rare form of female genital tract abnormality. It starts with an introduction to modern pre-surgical diagnostic tools, including hysterosalpingography, 3D ultrasound and MRI. From external to internal genitalia, this book introduces all commonly known malformations, as well as a variety of rare congenital malformations of the female genital tract. For each malformation, it includes indications, timing, surgical illustration, contraindication, anaesthesia, surgical procedure, postoperative treatment, and key points. In order to facilitate understanding, extensive illustrations and surgical images are also provided. This text offers a comprehensive guide for clinicians, helping them to accurately diagnose and treat these patients, who may present with different clinical manifestations. The authors are well-known gynecologists actively involved in the diagnosis and treatment of difficult diseases. Editors Lan Zhu and Jinghe Lang are Professors at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China. Editor Felix Wong is a Professor at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Liverpool Hospital, Liverpool, Australia. Professor Lang is also an Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering.

The field of androgen excess disorders has advanced substantially since the original publication of this book. The Androgen Excess Society (AES) was founded to bring together investigators in the field. A better understanding of the screening, progression, and molecular genetics of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) has improved the clinical care and diagnostic accuracy of these patients. New criteria for the diagnosis of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were proposed in Rotterdam, criteria that have resulted in controversy and, hopefully, initiation of new studies. The association of insulin resistance with PCOS has been strengthened, and the role of metformin in tre- ing the infertility of the PCOS has been validated. Risks for diabetes and, more cont- versially, cardiovascular disease in women with PCOS have received substantial investigation. Our understanding of the epidemiology and economic impact of these disorders has expanded, emphasizing their critical importance. These are but a few highlights of how the terrain has changed in a relatively brief period of time. In keeping with these advances, the title of this book has been revised to reflect the growing importance of PCOS as the most prevalent androgen excess disorder in women, and arguably, as the one that might have the most serious adverse consequences for general health. There are fewer chapters to provide a more focused elucidation of the area. Several chapters were penned by new (and young) authors who are conducting cutting-edge research in the field.
