This book provides a practical approach to a broad range of procedures in obstetrics and gynaecology. As doctors practicing obstetrics and gynaecology, we care for women on a daily basis who are dependant on our level of practical competence. Our ability to perform a broad range of procedures enables us to in the very least improve the quality of life in women and often save the lives of mothers and babies. Authors have been selected by virtue of their experience with the procedure and the reader is therefore allowed to glean from their experience. This book is aimed at any physician requiring a practical approach to performing procedures in obstetrics and gynaecology. Houseman, interns, residents, registrars and junior specialists will find it very useful.
