For medical specialists involved in the care of infertile couples, Carrell et al. compile 22 articles that review recent advances, ideas, and controversies related to infertility. Focusing on evidence-based medicine, specialists in obstetrics and gynecology, molecular and integrative physiology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, urology, and other fields from the US, Europe, Japan, and Argentina explore environmental and other factors involved in female and male infertility, as well as treatment and responses, ectopic pregnancy, and fertility preservation. They also cover assisted reproduction techniques, including discussion of the effects of obesity, and differing views on controversies in reproductive medicine such as the use of varicocelectomy surgery, aneuploidy screening, and genetic screening.
