Obstetrics and Gynecology Principles for Practice

Training and clinical practice of obstetrics and gynaecology is evolving to encompass general women's health issues. In fact, primary care is now a required component of OB/GYN residency programmes. Concomitantly, OB/GYNs must continue to be knowledgeable and expert in the traditional aspects of their discipline, such as maternal-foetal medicine and general gynaecologic care. This comprehensive text covers obstetrics, gynaecology and women's health. A supporting pocket companion and study guide will also be published. The work's 68 chapters present the bread and butter of OB/GYN plus the primary care that is delivered by OB/GYNs. The book is organized into sections on obstetrics, women's health care issues, management of chronic medical probelms in women's health, and special problems in gynaecologic oncology.
