Operative Obstetrics

BACK COVER COPY The first two editions of this book established the work as a significant contribution to the practice of surgical obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. This revised third edition has been expanded to accommodate the huge progression of operative methodology since the second edition was published in 1992. In particular, this edition covers the latest invasive fetal surgery techniques - for example, embryoscopy, fetoscopy, fetal transfusion and percutaneous intrauterine fetal shunting - and also includes a new chapter on patient safety. The book continues to provide an authoritative review of the clinical approach to diagnostic and therapeutic obstetric, maternal-fetal and perinatal procedures. Practising obstetricians, residents-in-training, Fellows in maternal-fetal medicine, perinatologists, and all of those involved in obstetric care will find this book an essential work of reference and an aid to problem-solving in daily practice.
