4 Stars! "...presents a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and the management of pelvic pain. Following a thorough description of anatomy of the pelvis, the book provides various management strategies, ranging from noninvasive to invasive therapies, and concludes with a description of pelvic pain in special populations.... [Also] provides a comprehensive approach to the management of pelvic pain.... The book highlights risk factors for pelvic pain to help clinicians with diagnosis—pelvic pain is common in both men and women.... The figures in the book are outstanding and truly enhance learning.... This book is comprehensive and covers a topic -- pelvic pain -- that may receive a single chapter in other pain books. It is logical in its organization. Any providers that encounter patients with this symptom will clearly benefit from this book; even those who are experienced either will refresh old knowledge or will learn new information." Review by Robert Gaiser, MD (Yale School of Medicine), ©Doody's Review Service, 2025. Doody's Score: 96, 4 Stars!
