A well-illustrated, highly practical book that will cover all the basic principles of operating in the pelvis for both obstetricians and gynaecologists. The aim is to help trainees understand the principles of a sound, multi-disciplinary surgical approach and to provide basic and detailed information that is often hard to find in more exhaustive obstetric and gynaecological surgical texts. Focusing on standard operations - such as hysterectomy and laparoscopy - that all trainees must know in order to pass their exams and become a competent specialist, it draws on the expertise of a wide-range of contributors, many from specialties outside obstetrics and gynaecology, and emphasises the principles of good technique.
