This new book is the first to offer clear, practical guidance for those starting to practice the technique of colposcopy or setting up a colposcopy clinic. This technique is central to the diagnosis and management of women who have been presented with abnormal smear test results. Written in a clear, accessible style and illustrated with color plates and line figures, Practical Colposcopy discusses the many difficult management problems and presents the reasoning behind the recommended course of action. Different treatments are described and compared. Women who have abnormal smear test results often suffer from stress and worry; throughout the book, ways of helping to minimize this anxiety are suggested. As a practical, integrated guide to this widely practised technique, this will be invaluable.
This text serves as a foundational manual for clinicians initiating colposcopy practice or establishing specialized clinics for the management of abnormal cervical cytology. Pat Soutter, an expert in the field, synthesizes clinical protocols and diagnostic reasoning to provide a structured approach to patient care. The book integrates technical procedural guidance with the management of patient psychological well-being, offering a comprehensive framework for clinical decision-making.
