Book Description

Obstetrics and Gynecology is a subject that encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions including physiological as well as pathological phenomenon, medical disorders to surgical emergencies, life threatening emergencies that demand immediate actions to situations like a normal labor that requires “masterly inactivity” for a considerable amount of time! The students, who are exposed afresh to this varying spectrum, are often left clueless how to tackle efficiently the demands of the situations. Having a pocket size book that would guide them through the nooks and corners of this puzzling yet intriguing and beautiful subject was always an unmet need. Counseling patients, taking a detailed history, principles of examining a patient, dealing with difficult situations in labor, monitoring the baby and progress of labor, managing a lady with gynecological problems, interpreting the radiology reports, tackling through emergencies, surgical principles, instruments and their appropriate safe use and also the National Programs undertaken by the Government of India have all been dealt with in this book but in a very lucid, smooth and comprehensible way. This has been authored and edited keeping in mind the registrars and residents who can go through it in a brief time and still absorb the intricacies of management effortlessly. A book as brief but yet as detailed and easy-reading as this is surely the best one can think of.
