Description
The third edition of this up-to-date, definitive work is the perfect reference guide for a new generation of obstetricians and gynaecologists. Increasing in popularity with the publication of the two previous editions, the latest version presents a fresh, patient-oriented approach and provides the information that the obstetric medical practitioner needs to know. It now has colour added to headings, tables and illustrations to highlight important concepts and enhance learning. The reader will find key fact boxes at the end of each chapter. The content is thoroughly updated to include topics such as prenatal endocrinology, cord blood sampling controversies regarding fetal heart rate monitoring and an expanded discussion of HIV.No book is perfect, but some, including this one, come close. The outstanding first edition of Gabbe, Niebyl and Simpson is evolving into a definitive textbook of maternal-fetal medicine." Journal of the American Medical Association "The list of contributors reads like a who's who of obstetrics and gynaecology ...it is a masterpiece" New England Journal of Medicine"
