Edited by highly experienced, leading academicians and practitioners, this book forms part of a collection of workshop manuals designed to amalgamate the most recent advances and evidence-based practices in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology.
This manual on Operative Delivery covers different delivery methods (instrumental, caesarean and vaginal), as well as abnormal circumstances, complications, and ethical and medicolegal aspects.
The text is an invaluable resource for practising obstetricians, residents and students, helping bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its application in daily practice.
The practice of obstetrics requires technical precision, sound clinical judgment, compassion, and adaptability to ever-evolving medical advances. This book serves as a concise, yet detailed resource encompassing the principles, protocols, and developments in operative obstetrics, while emphasising evidence-based practices and patient safety.
