Main description:

This book is a practical guide to gynaecological emergencies for trainees, with a focus on the importance of accurate patient assessment.

Divided into seven sections, the book begins with in depth discussion on the types of gynaecological emergencies, their diagnosis and treatment, found in different age groups, specifically, adolescents, the reproductive age group and the post-menopausal age group.

The following sections cover surgical emergencies, oncological emergencies and imaging. The final part describes miscellaneous topics such as acute urinary retention, emergencies related to contraception, and emergencies relating to drug use.
