Trainees in Obstetrics and
Gynaecology require robust operative skills, yet factors such as the
implementation of structured training and increased litigation concerns
have significantly limited training time. Whilst conventional textbooks
are sufficient for presenting theoretical knowledge, they are inadequate
in explaining practical procedures. How to Perform Operative Procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology thoroughly
describes many key index operations in the Royal College of
Obstetricians and Gynaecologists training syllabus, offering an
innovative, media-rich approach to the subject.
Written by a team
of O&G practitioners, this unique resource combines concise written
instructions, full-colour pictures and diagrams, and hours of
high-quality video footage of real-life operations, narrated by
experienced NHS consultants. Specialty trainees, MRCOG candidates and
post-MRCOG doctors are provided clear, easy-to-follow guidance on
procedures including assisted vaginal delivery, Caesarean section,
abdominal hysterectomy, diagnostic and operative laparoscopy, cone
biopsy, rigid cystoscopy and many others.
