Paediatric and adolescent gynaecology adds an interesting dimension to the spectrum of work for gynaecologists but it can be intimidating, especially when one feels inadequately prepared. This concise book lays out the fundamentals of both investigation and management of the child, thereby enhancing confidence.

Professor Anne Garden is a recognised authority in this field and she has collaborated with colleagues to bring everything into contemporary focus for this second edition. The new edition includes an important chapter on child sexual abuse – something a gynaecologist may encounter and they have the obligation to do the right thing for the sake of the child.

The book is easy to read and makes a handy reference source for the MRCOG candidate. It is also likely to be kept close at hand to refresh the memory of the established practitioner who intermittently encounters the younger patient.
