Main description:

IVF Techniques for the Beginners brings clinicians fully up to date with the latest advances in equipment and techniques for In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).

Divided into two sections, the book begins by describing IVF procedures and includes a chapter on fertility preservation in female cancer patients.

The second section presents essential protocols in ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology), describing the equipment, reagents and procedure for each technique.

Enhanced by nearly 70 images and illustrations, this comprehensive manual covers essential clinical aspects and common clinical embryology, and integrates the relevance of science in reproductive biology and its practical application.
