Pelvi-périnélogie = Pelvic floor

Offers a symptom-based approach because this is often the first link between patient and caregiver, but also because the language of complaints is perceived and understood by everyone, whether they are physicians, specialists, or not. Urologists, gynecologists, gastroenterologists, proctologists, surgeons, pediatricians, neurologists, rehabilitation physicians, pain specialists, general practitioners, midwives, physiotherapists, and specialized nurses will therefore find this book of interest. Each can read at their own pace and according to their own needs: those in a hurry can get straight to the point by reading the summary boxes introducing each article in the ten main sections; those with a deeper curiosity can delve into the sixty-six chapters with their thousands of references. It is also a book of authors and not the book of one author because perineology is plural and complex, because it requires not one but several expertises in fields as vast as physiology, functional pathology, disorders of pelvic statics, post-traumatic or iatrogenic phenomena, infectious or inflammatory diseases, pain, the perineal expression of neurological diseases, malformative pathology or even cancer.
