  This combined textbook of obstetrics and gynaecology aims to present the essential information required by medical students in their clinical course. Eight weeks is the usual allocation for undergraduate clinical training in obstetrics and gynaecology. Therefore, this textbook has been written to provide the core of knowledge which medical students need to supplement their clinical experience and help them to master the essentials of obstetrics and gynaecology in that short 8-week period. It has been planned to bridge the gap between the vast postgraduate tomes and the very brief lists of facts in the pocket books, providing students with one combined course book. The author has tried to focus throughout on the common conditions encountered in clinical practice. Particular emphasis has been placed on certain chapters that form the physiological basis of obstetrical and gynaecological practice. For example, the chapters on physiological changes in pregnancy and on conception and nidation are essential platforms on which to build a knowledge of abnormal states of fertility and reproduction and therefore receive greater emphasis than many other sections. Some of the sections such as those related to the mechanisms of normal and abnormal labour remain essentially unchanged.

  A short textbook ideal for the relatively short clinical attachment that medical students have in obstetrics and gynaecology, helping them to master the essentials of the subject in that short period. Only the core 'must know' information is included. The focus throughout is on common conditions encountered in clinical practice. It bridges the gap between vast postgraduate tomes and the brief, factual 'pocket' books, making it the student's ideal combined course book. Chapters provide an essential platform on which to build more indepth knowledge and the text is enhanced by many two-colour line drawings.
