British Medical Association Book Award Winner - Obstetrics and
Gynaecology 2021
Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynaecology require robust operative skills,
yet factors such as the implementation of structured training and
increased litigation concerns have significantly limited training time.
Whilst conventional textbooks are sufficient for presenting theoretical
knowledge, they are inadequate in explaining practical procedures. How
to Perform Operative Procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
thoroughly describes many key index operations in the Royal College of
Obstetricians and Gynaecologists training syllabus, offering an
innovative, media-rich approach to the subject.
Written by a team of O&G practitioners, this unique resource combines
concise written instructions, full-colour pictures and diagrams, and
hours of high-quality video footage of real-life operations, narrated by
experienced NHS consultants. Specialty trainees, MRCOG candidates and
post-MRCOG doctors are provided clear, easy-to-follow guidance on
procedures including assisted vaginal delivery, Caesarean section,
abdominal hysterectomy, diagnostic and operative laparoscopy, cone
biopsy, rigid cystoscopy and many others.
