Description This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. EUROPEAN PRACTICE IN GYNAECOLOGY AND
OBSTETRICS is a series of books conceived and endorsed by the European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG). Its aim
is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based information that represents the consensus of opinion among leading European experts in the field,
as part of the overall aim of standardising training and practice in order to ensure quality care and facilitate exchange among physicians
in all parts of Europe and the rest of the world. The topics chosen for each volume are those of significant clinical interest where
treatment is changing in response to research findings and developments in practice. The books concentrate on various types of management
used in European practice as well as published results. The authors present treatments for which a consensus exists and - when there
is no consensus - they discuss the key elements of the controversy. Each book provides a review of the basic science, recent concepts
in pathophysiology, clinical aspects, treatment and unresolved problems or controversies, as well as the major recent references. A final
section provides multiple-choice questions for each chapter.
