Main description:

Practical Cases in Obstetrics & Gynecology is brought fully up to date in this second edition, using clinical scenarios to give a concise overview of various topics in obstetrics and gynaecology.

This revised edition is divided into 46 chapters, covering the fundamentals of each subject. Each clinical case is presented in a simple and well organised format, including tables and flowcharts to illustrate each topic and enhance understanding. Important points are highlighted in a "Must Remember" section at the end of each case.

The practical cases covered include high risk cases, general gynaecology, reproductive endocrinology, and infertility. The second half of the book focuses on gynaecology, covering basic gynaecology, as well as specialised topics such as endometriosis, ovarian tumours and endometrial carcinoma. The final chapter on endoscopy has been updated in line with MBBS examinations, and the latest treatment modalities for fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, are included in this latest edition.

The clear format and broad scope of Practical Cases in Obstetrics & Gynecology make it an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students, residents in obstetrics and gynaecology, and general practitioners wishing to reinforce their understanding of obstetric and gynaecological topics.
