The Chapters in Do's and Don'ts in Obstetrics and Gynecology Practice update the knowledge that many clinicians will find useful and appropriate in clinical management. The choice is broad spectrum enough to cover common and key current conditions in obstetrics and gynecology. Each Chapter provides useful information on the risks and benefits of clinical management. Obstetricians are fully aware of the unpredictable spectrum of events that they are faced with from day-to-day management in clinical conditions. For this reason, the contents with updated information are useful for the readers and practitioners internationally. Care has been taken to systematically categorize the chapters to cover the wide spectrum of events that occur in clinical practice.
Risks management issues are encountered both in the developing and the developed world of obstetrics and gynecology, therefore, each sector of the globe has to recognize the local needs and modifications that may be particularly applicable to their practice. The contents of this book offer such opportunities and cover doubtful areas of clinical practice including adverse outcome and potential medicolegal issues in obstetrics and gynecology. I strongly recommend this worldwide edition to the library of clinicians that aim to improve their practice and updating their knowledge in education and teaching of trainees. I strongly welcome its international distribution.

13Foreword
There is a long-standing desire by the postgraduate students and consultants to know the exact recommendation for individual clinical situation in Obstetrics and Gynecology. There is a constant changing trend in understanding and practicing this complex discipline. We, therefore, must update our knowledge. I know Dr Tushar Kar, who was the Vice-President of FOGSI, is an excellent academician, senior teacher par excellence and good clinician. His long-cherished desire to give important tips to the post- graduates as well as to the practicing clinicians through this textbook is evidently seen. These chapters which have been contributed by many authors of authority and senior medical teachers include from “Making of a Postgraduate” to “Newer Contraception” in Obstetrics and Gynecology practice.
Every author has tried to give some information regarding Do's and Don'ts of Individual subject at the end of the chapter which will be really useful for clinical practice. In addition, a new and rare chapter on “Making of a Postgraduate in Obstetrics and Gynecology” has been contributed by Dr Tushar Kar and Dr Asaranti Kar in a different way. I am sure this uncommon book will be useful for years to come for postgraduates and consultants in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

15Foreword
The greatest wealth of a professional is acquiring skills. Enormous advances in medical sciences in general and obstetrics and gynecology, in particular, have been seen in the last few decades as per as conceptual transformation, technological advances, surgical innovation and research methodology are concerned. The need of the hour remains in updating one's scientific worth of an individual and a health care provider like us. Therefore, it is my personal feeling that basic scientific foundation, clinical acumen, surgical expertise and critical analysis are the basic components needed for the practising obstetrician and gynecologist particularly in this era where the concept of perform or perish prevails.
I am extremely happy to scan every chapter of this innovative book and really amazed to see that this is aimed at postgraduates and practising obstetricians and gynecologists in the urban as well as rural areas. I am sure that this will be a technical bible for all of us not only for ready-reference but also for skill development.
I congratulate Dr Tushar Kar for his untiring effort in bringing out this unique module which will serve as best practice guidelines for the clinician in OBGYN.

It gives me immense pleasure to write a few words for Do's and Don'ts in Obstetrics and Gynecology Practice.
I must congratulate my friend Dr Tushar Kar for making such a great effort. All the chapters are carefully selected and written very methodically. There is a clarity of thought and understanding of the subject which is evident in the writing of all the chapters.
This book will not only be useful for the common man but also for medical practitioners and postgraduates.
This is a wonderful effort and my best wishes to Dr Tushar Kar.

19Preface
Science is advancing very fast. Likewise, in medical sciences, the practice guidelines of today is becoming the guidelines of yesterday. Therefore, for a postgraduate and practising consultant, it is extremely difficult to update with the current guidelines. Keeping this in mind, we have got a long-standing desire of giving some key points regarding What to do and What not to do in our day-to-day practising situation to obstetrics and gynecology consultants and PG students. So that they can keep themselves prepared to face these conditions. Similarly, we have already come out with a book on Safe Surgical Practice which is very much useful for all the consultants as per their feedback from every corner of our country.
We have tried to cover up as many chapters as possible keeping in view of clinical importance starting from Making of a Postgraduate till Newer Contraception. In each chapter, we have initially covered relevant clinical aspects followed by Do's and Don'ts. All the contributors are pretty senior teachers and having authority in their subjects.
Professor Christopher B Lynch has also contributed a chapter on Management of Third Stage of Labor, which is extremely practical and praise worthy.
Lastly, a unique and a typical chapter like Making of a Postgraduate written by us has been a long-cherished dream of ours which will definitely guide the postgraduates towards making themselves an outstanding clinician or excellent medical teacher or a true medical scientist. As well as, this chapter will enlighten some positive suggestions regarding revamping of present-day postgraduate medical education of our country for the time to come.
