Obstetrics and Gynecology is a subject that encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions including physiological as well as pathological phenomenon, medical disorders to surgical emergencies, life threatening emergencies that demand immediate actions to situations like a normal labor that requires “masterly inactivity” for a considerable amount of time! The students, who are exposed afresh to this varying spectrum, are often left clueless how to tackle efficiently the demands of the situations. Having a pocket size book that would guide them through the nooks and corners of this puzzling yet intriguing and beautiful subject was always an unmet need. Counseling patients, taking a detailed history, principles of examining a patient, dealing with difficult situations in labor, monitoring the baby and progress of labor, managing a lady with gynecological problems, interpreting the radiology reports, tackling through emergencies, surgical principles, instruments and their appropriate safe use and also the National Programs undertaken by the Government of India have all been dealt with in this book but in a very lucid, smooth and comprehensible way. This has been authored and edited keeping in mind the registrars and residents who can go through it in a brief time and still absorb the intricacies of management effortlessly. A book as brief but yet as detailed and easy-reading as this is surely the best one can think of.

This book offers a comprehensive and clinically practical approach to ethics in the everyday practice of obstetrics and gynecology. The topics the authors address include: contraception, abortion, selective termination of multifetal pregnancies, gynecologic cancer, in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, prenatal diagnosis, fetal therapy, cephalocentisis, prematurity, HIV infection, and court ordered cesarean delivery. The issues involved in making decisions in many of these areas are a source of conflict, and lead to crisis between the physician and patient. One of the book's strengths is its emphasis on prevention and, if prevention fails, management, of the conflicts and crises which arise in these areas of medicine. The authors develop their preventative and management strategies on the basis of a framework for bioethics in the clinical setting. This framework is rigorously established and defended. The authors argue that four virtues -- self effacement, self sacrifice, compassion, and integrity -- generate the physician's obligation to protect and promote the patient's interest. They then identify the three types of patient's interests -- social role interests, subjective interests, and deliberative interests -- and they reinterpret the ethical principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy in terms of these. The concept of the fetus as patient, the physician's obligation to third parties, and the moral standing of fathers and family members are also addressed. The implications of their argument sets the stage for the discussions of prevention and management in the remaining sections of the book. Ethics in Obstetrics and Gynecology is a unique addition to the literature in both biomedical ethics and obstetrics and gynecology. It demonstrates that ethics should be regarded as an essential part of obstetrics and gynecology, and that clinical practice is incomplete without i
