| Summary |
`A well-written, easy-to-read book covering all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology that medical students are likely to encounter, allowing for maximum retention of relevant, interesting information in a short period of time. Topics include history-taking; gynaecological and obstetric examinations; normal and abnormal pregnancies; development of the fetus and newborn infant; female development from pre-puberty to post-menopause. Psychosocial issues of women's health are emphasized, especially in relation to situations such as post-natal depression, abnormal cervical smears, sexual abuse and infertility. The use of colour photographs and figures throughout complement and enhance the readability of the book.' -- |
| `Its strength is the number and quality of the plates and illustrations, especially the illustrations of labour and delivery, which are excellent for an undergraduate text. The anatomical drawings are particularly good, being numerous, clear and well-labeled. The layout of the text also makes it a very easy read.' -- |
| `This a great book for students just starting an intensive obstetrics and gynaecology rotation. The layout and colour in the book is good but not overbearing and makes for easy reading that keeps to the essentials without information overload for an intense subject such as Obs/gyn.' -- |
| Updates to the ninth edition incorporate the latest information from high quality evidence-based guidelines and studies, maintaining the commitment to the Fundamentals of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for medical, midwifery and nursing trainees, while remaining cognisant of the limited time they have during their introductions to women's health. --Book Jacket. |
