Main description:

This new edition brings trainees fully up to date with latest advances in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology. The previous edition, published in 1997, covered obstetrics, but not gynaecology. A number of brand new chapters on obstetrics have also been added.

Each topic begins with basic anatomy and physiology, followed by clinical examination techniques, with an emphasis on history taking, and interpretation. Clinical examination in both normal and abnormal pregnancy, as well as gynaecological disorders, is discussed.

The second edition of this practical guide includes more than 200 photographs, diagrams and tables.
