Main description:

This book is a comprehensive reference bringing gynaecologists and trainees up to date with the latest advances in their field.

Divided into eight sections, the text begins with discussion on history taking and investigations. The following chapters provide a selection of clinical case studies detailing the diagnosis and management of different gynaecological disorders. Some cases are presented in question and answer format to assist understanding.

The remaining sections of the book cover reproductive physiology, birth control, surgical instruments, specimens, and imaging. The chapters on instruments give particular focus to endoscopic surgery. The text concludes with research questions for students.

Topics in the book correspond with those in practical and oral examinations and the text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams, radiological images and tables.
