ABSTRACT

It is important to appreciate the evolving eld in which we work and the exciting advances that are occurring – many since the rst edition of this book 15 years ago. We do not propose to present an exhaustive treatise of all areas of ongoing research in reproductive medicine. Instead, we have highlighted a few important areas where recent research strategies are leading to changes in clinical practice. The underlying theme of the topics is in keeping with the theme of this book, namely, the ability to help couples to achieve a healthy singleton baby.
