The Love Surgeon
From the 1950s to 1980s, Ohio obstetrician gynecologist James Burt performed a bizarre procedure that he termed "love surgery" on hundreds of new mothers, not bothering to get their informed consent. The Love Surgeon asks tough questions about Burt's heinous acts and what they reveal about the failures of the medical establishment.
Treating the Body in Medicine and Religion
Modern medicine has produced many wonderful technological breakthroughs that have extended the limits of the frail human body. However, much of the focus of this medical research has been on the physical, often reducing the human being to a biological machine to be examined, understood, and controlled. This book begins by asking whether the modern medical milieu has overly objectified the body, unwittingly or not, and whether current studies in bioethics are up to the task of restoring a fuller understanding of the human person. In response, various authors here suggest that a more theological/religious approach would be helpful, or perhaps even necessary. Presenting specific perspectives fr...

Cutaneous Medicine
Each section is authored by a dermatologist and an internist or appropriate specialist. The dermatologist is responsible for not only the description of cutaneous manifestations, but also the therapy of skin diseases. The internist is responsible for the description of the systemic work-up of the patient and the diagnostic techniques employed.
Fistula Politics
Obstetric fistula is a birthing injury caused by prolonged obstructed labor that results in urinary and fecal incontinence. It is nearly non-existent in the Global North. In contrast Niger, in West Africa, has one of the highest rates of fistula in the world. In Western humanitarian and media narratives, fistula is presented as deeply stigmatizing, resulting in divorce, abandonment by kin, exile from communities, depression and suicide. In Fistula Politics, Alison Heller illustrates the inaccuracy of these popular narratives and shows how they serve the interests not of the women so affected, but of humanitarian organizations, the media, and local clinics.
Reoperative Gynecologic and Obstetric Surgery
Appropriate diagnostic procedures, analysis of indications in timing, and the best surgical approaches to management are covered in this book. Numerous illustrations are used to clarify reoperative procedures. Six new chapters cover complications of laparoscopic surgery, the ruptured perineum, postobstetric genital fistual, and more.
