Problem-Orientated Obstetrics and Gynaecology

This text adopts a problem or condition-based approach to the subject of obstetrics and gynaecology rather than the traditional pathological topic-based approach. With its emphasis on the clinical situation and the combination of pathophysiology and treatment, the book acts as a useful resource for the obstetrics and gynaecology attachment for students on problem-based, systems-based and more traditional courses. With its direct approach the book lends itself to real life situations and aims to equip the reader to manage problems on a practical level. The book follows an easy to use structure and topics are covered by discussion of clinical importance, essential steps involved in solving the problem, basic background knowledge, key questions for history taking, findings to elicit on examination, relevant investigations to order, key steps in treatment and key learning points. It also features key points and self assessment sections.
