There has indeed been an explosion of scientific information in all the fields of medical sciences and Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Family Planning are no exceptions. Unfortunately, most of the medical literature available to the reader reflect the practice in developed countries, which we in the subcontinent cannot match barring very few premier institutions. This creates a state of confusion in the mind of the reader, not knowing what is right in our scenario. This does not mean that we have to continue the old and relatively primitive methods of practice. What is required is to understand the recent advances in our perspective to be able to bridge the gap between what is and what should be.
The book Progress in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a complication of reviews on topics of contemporary interest in the field of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Family Planning. An honest attempt has been made in the presentation of this volume to enable the reader to analyze the discussed clinical problems in our perspective. I hope that the book will be of immense help to practicing clinicians, students and trainees, who are increasingly challenged by the pace of new research and developments in the field of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Family Planning. The book is intended primarily for postgraduate students but it is likely to prove useful to practicing, Obstetricians, Gynaecologists and Family Planning Personnel also.
I acknowledge with deep sense of gratitude the contribution of guest faculty and my colleagues in the department and college who have whole-heartedly cooperated and encouraged me in preparation and publication of this book. I wish to thank all the contributors of this volume who have submitted their chapters on a short notice, as well as the publishers without whose active interest, encouragement and support this publication would not have been possible.
Finally, I must pay a special tribute to my co-editors, Narendra and Manjula. As on previous occasions their advice and professional skills were invaluable at all stages of preparation of the volume and I am pleased to have this opportunity to acknowledge my indebtedness to them. Need I mention here that my better half Dr. Manju Nagrath has been a driving force apart to her active contribution in sharing all my responsibilities relating to the preparation of this book?
