Dewhurst's Textbook of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for Postgraduates

Book excerpt: As a result of the accelerating pace with which new knowledge is gathered and new developments are brought into practical use, it is essential that the specialist keeps abreast of current trends. The new Sixth Edition of this highly-acclaimed and well-established text has been extensively revised and updated to provide the postgraduate studying for the MRCOG examination with the most up-to-date information available. Under the expert supervision of a new editor, Mr Keith Edmonds, the book has been comprehensively revised and given a completely new look with the addition, for the first time, of colour illustrations and two-colour text. There are also five new chapters. The thorough reworking of all chapters and the contributions of many newly emerging experts in their various fields will perpetuate the excellent tradition of this 'classic' text into the next century. Readers will find the book stimulating and educational, and a reference text that will enhance their knowledge and practice.
