A Comprehensive Textbook of Obstetrics & Gynecology

by Sadhana Gupta

This book is unique in its conception that it covers the two interrelated branches—obstetrics, i.e. science of childbirth and gynecology, i.e. science of female genital system in a single book. This will certainly help students and readers in grasping the subject as a whole. Certain topics like basic science, abortions, ectopic pregnancy, GTT, and contraception are common to both and readers will have a clear orientation by not repeating the same topic in different ways. In section of Basic Sciences in Obstetrics and Gynecology, recent views and developments in the field with its clinical implication are included and readers will find this section challenging and interesting. The subject of General Gynecology, Obstetrics and Normal and Abnormal Labor has been explained with meticulous details as well as with simplified and rational approach. This book comprehensive, easy to understand and give clear messages to readers in all chapters. The multiple choice questions (MCQs) have been included at the end of chapters considering the changing scenario and priorities of today’s undergraduate students. In present times getting through the pre-postgraduate entrance examination is one of the prime concerns of the students. Right from the beginning while preparing for MBBS examination, if they read the subject while keeping an eye on possible MCQs, they will have definite edge in examination. The field of obstetrics and gynecology is widening fast and there are many emerging subspecialties like endocrinology, reproductive biology, including assisted reproductive techniques, perinatal and fetal medicine, imaging and so on. In this book all subspecialties are covered in a simple and easy-to-understand manner so that readers will have clear and updated knowledge of these subjects. Great care has been taken in selection and quality of figures, photographs and illustrations at appropriate places which will keep the interest of readers and they will have visual memory of various clinical situations. The language in the book has been kept simple and interesting which effectively communicates with the readers. Almost two and a half years have been spent in writing the text of this book, editing and re-editing, selecting and preparing photographs and illustrations for this book. I acknowledge everybody who was part of this experience. It was a great learning experience and every moment was enjoyed thoroughly. The book is being presented before readers keeping in mind that knowledge is always weightless, enjoyable, simple, and for upliftment and well being of all.
