Preface This third edition of Biennial Reviews of Fertility continues to build on a reputation of overviewing evolving fi elds that are important for the fi eld of Reproductive Medicine. Each chapter is written by a leader in the fi eld, who provides critical analysis of the developing subject for readers interested in staying on top of each area. Although books are typically viewed as having a longer “publication lag,” limiting how timely the subject matter can be, the compilation of expert-reviewed cutting edge topics in this book is unique. For this reason, our reviews are updated biennially. Since the “jury is still out” on a number of cutting edge topics, we have expanded our section of “Controversies.” This portion of the book aims to provide critical insights on newer areas of investigation or treatment by hav- ing two different experts provide point–counterpoint evaluation of important topical subjects. In this issue, we are fortunate to have a balanced discussion of the issue of the safety of the ICSI procedure by its inventor, Dr. Gianpiero Palermo, with balanced inputs from both Doug Carrell and Kurt Barnhart. The role of IUI in modern reproductive medicine is debated by senior authors Erica Johnstone and Fulco van der Veen. Dr. Juergen Liebermann addresses the role of vitri fi cation of human oocytes. The provocative topic of another chapter is, “Should we eliminate fresh embryo transfer from ART,” addressed by Catherine Racowsky, Dan Kaser, and Maria Assens. The role of aging in reproduction is addressed for both male and females by Kenneth Aston and Stephanie Sherman, respectively. Other topics include the role of sperm retrieval for couples with prior failed ART attempts, thought- fully reviewed by Robert Oates, with an overview of the most recent meta- analyses of supplements for male infertility by Peter Schlegel. Dr. Raphi Ron-El covers the ethical issues and extent of Reproductive Tourism, a grow- ing topic of special signi fi cance in European countries where substantial restrictions on reproductive options have been introduced. Not only do our chapters cover every area from female reproduction to genetics to male reproduction to assisted reproduction, but we have also added a section on study design to help our readers better interpret published literature in reproductive medicine. In this volume, the role of prospective cohort study design for trials in reproductive health is discussed by Stacey Missmer and Germaine Buck-Louis. vii viii Preface Each topic is obviously presented by a leader in the fi eld of reproductive medicine. We thank our authors for the very short time line that is required for production of a timely set of reviews and the obvious other commitments that these authors have in our fi eld. We appreciate the thoughtful and critical insights provided by our authors and hope that you recognize the value of these efforts as well. New York, NY, USA Peter N.
