Description
Here's comprehensive coverage of the clinical essentials of both obstetrics and gynaecology in one affordable volume. A new team of authors presents the latest advances in the management of pregnancy and the treatment of gynaecological disorders in a well-written, easy-to-read style. Shorter chapters, updated terminology, clearer scans, and more line drawings are just some of the fresh, new changes that bring this popular reference up-to-date and make it relevant to today's practice.
