Gynecology is principally an operative specialty and the range of gynecologic procedures managed is constantly expanding due to improved instrumentation and minimally invasive techniques. Covering the entire spectrum of gynecologic surgery through a case-based, digestible format, procedures such as vaginal, transvaginal, hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, robotic, and abdominal procedures are included, as well as common surgical challenges and complications. For each case, a clinical vignette outlines the situation and the clinical context of the patient, followed by a comprehensive discussion of the evidence-based management approach and key teaching points. The decision to operate, contraindications, alternatives to surgery and preoperative counseling is discussed in detail along with the level of care needed for each case. Readers will improve their knowledge base of gynecologic surgery and gain multiple tools to overcome common surgical obstacles.

This unique book, designed to support obstetrician-gynecologists, midwives, and family medicine specialists caring for obstetric patients, will guide clinicians to a clear understanding of the ways to recognize, manage, and importantly prevent obstetrical complications. Utilising clinical vignettes combined with comprehensive, authoritative discussions from experienced clinicians, this book is an essential resource to support practice and preparation for various certification type of examinations. Following the same effective approach as other titles in this series, Acute and Emergency Care Gynecology: A Case-Based Approach, Office Gynecology: A Case-Based Approach and Surgical Gynecology: A Case-Based Approach, this book is the perfect guide to navigate common and rare obstetrical complications.

This case-based guide covers 100 gynecologic problems commonly encountered in office practice settings, from the simple to the complex. It encourages evidence-based care and incorporates up-to-date guidance on evaluation and management in office practice. Clinical problems are discussed in a clear, case-based format. The book integrates current guidelines and recommendations, supplemented with carefully-researched and vetted expert opinion for situations for which no guidelines exist. Each gynecologic problem is assessed through a brief case presentation followed by an in-depth discussion with visual aids. Question and answer sections feature teaching points. Cases and discussions are detailed enough to guide practice, yet remain focused and concise, with each case designed to be read in the time available when seeing a patient in clinical practice. An invaluable reference guide for gynecologists, family physicians, internal medicine providers, and other women's health care providers who offer office-based gynecologic care.
