This is the second compilation of papers given during the Related
Communica- tions Sessions of the XIth International Federation of
Fertility Societies World Congress held on June 26th-July 1st 1983 at
the Royal Dublin Society, Dublin, Ireland. Except for Part I, where
results of animal experimentations are gathered together, the volume is
concerned solely with studies in the human. The role of infection and
endometriosis in the aetiology and treatment of the tubo-
uteroperitoneal factor in infertility are the concern of Parts II and
III. Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of tubal disease are covered in
Parts IV and V and the book ends with Part VI, chapters on the uterus
and vagina. Laparoscopy and microsurgical techniques have undoubtedly
transformed the diagnostic and therapeutic outlook in this area of
infertility. This book shows you how far such techniques have progressed
and how much there is yet to do. Dublin, 1983 Robert F. Harrison
