In March 2008, in the great city of Alexandria, we celebrated thirty years of in vitro fertilization. We honored Robert G Edwards in a meeting dedicated to him and attended by the world IVF leaders in the Historic Library of Alexandria. Klaus Deidrich talked about Bob Edwards the scientist and founder of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology. Botros RMB Rizk portrayed Bob Edwards from a personal point of view as mentor, friend and colleague. A very entertaining video about Bob's life was produced and presented by Osama Shawki. This historic meeting was fit for a scientist. We decided to write and dedicate the book on Clinical Infertility and In Vitro Fertilization to Bob Edwards.
In the book, we are also proud to dedicate it to a legend of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor Naguib Mahfouz. Professor Mahfouz founded the first Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Cairo University in 1906. He founded the museum and wrote the Atlas of Gynecology which was world renowned.
The two editors had all their formal learning and training in London in the era of the legends Professor Robert G Edwards and Professor Stuart Campbell. Professor Sallam did the original work on follicular and endocrine monitoring and Professor Rizk devoted his time to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization.
Professor Sallam's work is the backbone of this book that represents a guide to all clinicians dedicated to couples with infertility.
Over the years, the meetings and conferences, they organized, refined the practice, they enjoyed the international interactions for the last three decades.
To our readers, we put in your hand a clear, easy-to-read and hopefully enjoyable book that you could use daily in your practice.
