Full Description
This manual is a practical guide to operative obstetrics and gynaecology for candidates preparing for MRCOG (Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) examinations.
Divided into three sections, the text begins with an overview explaining anatomy, ethics in surgery, anaesthesia, and pre- and post-operative care. Sections two and three cover numerous surgical procedures for obstetric and gynaecologic disorders.
Each chapter is presented as a template comprising different operative stages including an introduction, indications, pre-operative preparation, surgical steps, post-operative care, and complications.
The third edition has been fully revised and updated with a number of new topics added. The comprehensive text is further enhanced by illustrative diagrams and images.
A QR code provides access to supplementary online content and videos, MRCOG questions and answers, case studies, and the latest Green-top Guidelines (guidelines set by the RCOG to help members deliver high quality care for women, other obstetrics and gynaecology service users, and their families).
The previous edition (9789351524809) published in 2015.
