Description and Table of Contents

Description

This textbook is for those studying for MRCOG, containing in one volume all the candidate needs to know for the examination. It assumes some basic knowledge of the subject, and therefore concentrates on how the correct treatment is to be chosen, what advantages one choice has over another and what complications are to be expected. Revision to previous editions includes updating to reflect contemporary interest in infertility and reproductive medicine, antenatal diagnosis, infection and oncology.
