Main description:

Different from the traditional obstetrics and gynecology textbooks which only offer a cursory view of complicated obstetrics and fetal medicine, "A Guide to Complex Pregnancy Management" fills the wide gap of knowledge in this field by covering the most complex obstetrical conditions that are often encountered. Specially written for medical students, this book aims to prepare students to fully participate in the complex environment of university obstetrical services. It will serve as an adjunct to general text for students undergoing student clerkships, and as a comprehensive text and reference source for those taking electives and sub-internships. In addition, general obstetricians not specializing in complex pregnancy management could also benefit from this book as a reference source for management of patients.
