Office Gynecology (2nd ed)

Technological advances mean that many gynaecologic problems formerly performed in the hospital can now be performed safely by the family doctor.

This text is aimed at the busy practitioner who wants succinct information that can be accessed quickly.

It takes a holistic approach, addressing both the emotional and the physical needs of the patient with gynaecologic problems, covering the subjects that can be dealt with effectively and safely in the doctor's surgery.

The text's 21 chapters are organized into two parts.

The first begins with setting up and organizing the modern practice to provide appropriate care for patients with gynaecologic problems.

It provides guidelines on patient evaluation, annual check up, and health maintenance.

Part two addresses specific diseases or conditions. This second edition has beeen revised and updated throughout.

There is a new chapter on outpatient procedures, including loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), anaesthesia, and a glossary of terms.

Topics more fully covered include condoms, progestin therapy in cancer, HIV, and assisted reproductive technologies.
