Colposcopy has contributed significantly to knowledge about cervical cancer. Developed in Germany by Hans Hinselmann, it plays a significant role in the identification, early detection and treatment of cervical cancer. Dr Seidl is a pioneer of colposcopy and recognised early on the typical changes in the external and internal cervix over the course of a woman’s life and the colposcopic equivalents of the precursors of cervical carcinoma. As a gynaecologist (and pathologist), Dr Seidl has taken up the cause of early diagnosis of cervical carcinoma and its precursors. He is considered a protagonist of colposcopy in post-war Germany due to his experience in 60 years of work with many publications and further training at home and abroad (introduction of colposcopy in Africa). Dr. Seidl has made his extensive training material available to interested doctors in a special and unique form in the form of a colposcopy atlas: - For doctors who want to familiarise themselves with colposcopy for their practice. - For doctors who want to use the didactic teaching material, arranged according to the new nomenclature (Rio 2014), for their own further training. He has revised this book – now in its 4th edition with his co-author Dr Kossagk from AGCPC.de – in memory of his famous predecessors in German-speaking countries, such as Hinselmann, Ganse, Mestwerdt (Germany), Wespi (Switzerland) and Burghrdt (Austria) and in appreciation of this original German diagnostic method, and has added several innovations. For example, the photo and video material can now also be accessed online in streaming mode. The DVD originally used for this purpose has been abolished. In addition, new chapters have been included, with the chapters on peniscopy and mammilloscopy in particular falling outside the scope of a usual colposcopy book. The book is unique among colposcopy publications worldwide, as it covers the entire spectrum of gynaecological diagnostics with over 900 colour colposcopic illustrations and therapeutic video sequences. In addition to chapters on findings of the portio, vagina and vulva, new chapters such as functional colposcopy, mamilloscopy and peniscopy are presented in a thoroughly edited form. Of course, colposcopy is emphasised as playing an essential role in the early diagnosis of carcinoma and preliminary stages (dysplasias) in the genital area, with the difficult modern differential diagnosis facilitating the evaluation of findings. An important chapter is the colposcopic observation of the course of the disease, which often leads to a definitive diagnosis! In addition to these important tasks, there is – especially for doctors in practice – a broad diagnostic field in the context of the various inflammations (STD) and functional hormone-related changes in the genital area. A chapter on changes in the nipple highlights Paget’s disease and justifies the use of colposcopy. The new chapter on peniscopy is the first colposcopy book to discuss the role of men in sexually transmitted HPV infections and to propose modern early diagnosis (secondary prophylaxis). These statements are supported by years of experience in examinations of men and by convincing colposcopic images of carcinomas and its precursors.

The first two editions of this book were published by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP). This product is considered the standard of colposcopy and has the reputation of being the best selling educational teaching module for the physician, resident, or advanced practice clinician who wishes to bridge the gap between the obvious need for increased early detection of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar disease and the intensive education required for colposcopy. The purpose of the society and the book is to provide education about the lower genital tract through the use of colposcopy. This includes the disciplines of pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, preventive medicine, basic research, gynecologic oncology, and endocrinology which are relevant to the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease processes of the lower genital tract. Features Include: •1815 color images; • Complete coverage of HPV related diseases, colposcopy and related topics; • Chapters added on adolescents and the expanding field of anal screening, diagnosis of anal HPV related precancer and cancer through high resolution anoscopy and treatment of anal and perianal neoplastic disease; • Updated algorithms and guidelines; • Companion website that includes searchable text, images and more.

A key tool in the fight against cervical cancer, colposcopy has today become a standard gynecologic technique and a must-know area for the primary-care practitioner who handles gynecologic patients in his or her practice.This lavishly illustrated work includes complete instruction in performing colposcopic procedures, but its great strength are the more than 400 exquisite enlarged color photographs of diagnostic quality, allowing the examining practitioner to make confident assessments regarding the appearance of the cervix as seen in coposcopy.COLPOSCOPY begins with coverage of equipment, training, and examination techniques. It then provides full information on normal and abnormal colposcopic findings and guidelines for differential diagnosis and treatment. Comprehensive and wide-ranging, COLPOSCOPY shows you how to:- Make routine exams more effective and accurate through the use of colposcopic screening- Conduct an examination with colposcopy and document your results- Reach the right differential diagnosis and determine the best method of treatment- Use colposcopy to detect abnormalities not revealed through standard screening techniques.Fully illustrated and based on decades of experience, COLPOSCOPY is an essential resource for anyone performing cervical examinations.

The new edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments in the field of colposcopy. Beginning with the basic principles of colposcopy, the next chapters explain terminology, technique, and assessment and interpretation of normal and abnormal results. The following sections present an atlas of colpophotographs illustrating normal and abnormal findings. The final chapters discuss different colposcopy techniques and management methods for abnormal results, advances in biotechnology, instrumentation and software, equipment maintenance, and infection control measures. The third edition includes a new chapter on ablative and excisional treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, as well as a comprehensive appendices section including information on training, a colposcopy evaluation form, line diagrams, and more. Key points Fully revised, new edition presenting latest developments in colposcopy Features atlas of over 100 colpophotographs Includes comprehensive appendices section Previous edition (9789350250945) published in 2010

This comprehensive textbook and atlas provides detailed guidance on the performance and interpretation of colposcopy, with a particular focus on the diagnosis of precancerous cervical, vulvar, and vaginal lesions. The book not only describes the role of colposcopy in state of the art cervical cancer screening and triage but also covers the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cervical cancer in low-resource settings, where the vast majority of cases occur worldwide. The indications for colposcopy are clearly identified, and its use is described in a variety of specific circumstances, including during pregnancy, following surgical interventions and radiation treatment, and in the immunocompromised patient. The book will be of value for gynecologists and gynecologic oncologists, general practitioners, and family practice doctors; furthermore, physician assistants, nurses, and midwives will find it very useful for training and as a source of reference, regardless of whether they are working within an established screening program based on cytopathology and/or HPV testing or within a low-resource environment applying visual inspection as the primary screening strategy.
