Gynaecology 3e provides the reader with a comprehensive, informative, up - to - date and readable textbook. It ensures that trainees have a substantive text from which to prepare for their exams and it gives qualified specialists a definitive tome to refer to when preparing to teach, lecture, and educate. In addition it is an invaluable clinical reference for the practitioner.  
 
The philosophy of the book builds on that of previous editions, namely coverage divided into Five principle sections , the first covering anatomy, investigative techniques, molecular biology, day case surgery . The second section covers physiology and reproductive medicine, and the third benign and malignant disease of the reproductive organs. Subsequent sections cover urogynaecological disorders, and other areas such as adolescent gynaecology, evidence based care, and risk management. There is also excellent coverage of STDs, PID, and urinary tract infection.  
 
Gynaecology 3e is the practical reference book for all gynaecologists.
