Summary

This new pocket guide will be an ideal resource in everyday obstetric and gynaecology practice and a must for exam preparation.Rapid Obstetrics and Gynaecology is the third title in the new Rapid series and is the ideal companion for clinical students working on their Obs & Gynae attachments. It provides quick access to information on the common obstetric and gynaecological diseases and problems that they will encounter on the wards, in clinics, and in their exams. Arranged in A-Z format, each condition is covered using the same headings - Definition, Aetiology, Associations/Risk Factors, Epidemiology, History, Examination, Pathology, Investigations, Management, Complications, Prognosis and Differential Diagnosis. There are also further sections on procedures and general obstetric and gynaecology management.Rapid Obstetrics and Gynaecology is authored by four medical students from the Royal Free and University College Medical School, London, and the University of Liverpool School of Medicine. Two senior clinicians, Professor Allen MacLean and Mr Paul Hardiman at the Royal Free, are the Editorial Advisors, and Amir H. Sam, is the Series Editor.
