Riassunto

A concise review of obstetrics and gynaecology structured to reflect the content of the DRCOG exam and written with that exam in mind.

• concise - written in a very simple style that keeps wordage to a minimum
• linked to DRCOG exam
• equally useful as an MRCGP reference
• very useful for GP registrars - especially those with limited experience of hospital O&G

updates include the following:

• more on statistics, as this is very important to the exam
• a few more well-chosen line drawings (flow diagrams) and tables - in place of text
• expanded GP content (e.g. family planning, mennorhagia management)
• expanded sections on syndromes to include: Turner's syndrome, Kleinfelters, Testicular feminization, Edwards and Pataus syndromes
• infection in pregnancy, including parvovirus infection and toxoplama screening
• varicella infection - complications
• viagra (in psychosexual problems chapter)
• survival of preterm infant - at different gestation
