“The purpose is to provide an updated, exhaustive review of perioperative complications as they relate to specific female pelvic floor reconstructive procedures. … Trainees will find the book to be a useful reference when learning how to navigate preoperative counseling and consent. … Pelvic reconstructive surgeons already in practice will find the book to be an invaluable reminder of potential complications and of the importance of managing patient expectations and conducting an in-depth informed consent.” (Alana Murphy, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2017)
