Evidence-based Management Approach

The practicing obstetrician-gynecologist should be equipped today with a far richer armamentarium than ever before. This is in part due to sheer expansion in knowledge and technology and in part due to the conditionality of evidence-based practice. Evidence-based practice is gaining momentum and where possible it is in the interest of both the clinician and the patient to subscribe to these rules as they support the better traditions of medical care. In order to be successful, the clinician should be able to sift through evidence and make decisions considering the patient's socioeconomic background, attitudes and believes.

Work-out of Real-time Clinical Scenarios

A unique feature of this book is the work-out of real-time clinical scenarios, giving explanations as to how to arrive at rational clinical diagnosis and management. This helps the students undeinrtand the topic in a better way, equipping them to manage the patients themselves.

Usage of Latest Technologies in Gynecology

Imaging modalities like ultrasonography, CT, MRI and PET-scan, have developed in a big way in the recent times. The usage of these imaging modalities is discussed in appropriate situations in the various chapteinr. Though most of the imaging modalities are under the purview of the radiologist, every student and specialist in obstetrics-gynecology ought to have proficiency in ultrasonography. In numerous clinical emergency situations like ectopic gestation, as well as in the routine diagnosis of uterine and ovarian pathologies, the obstetrician-gynecologist will be better placed to perform, interpret and decide on emerging issues. Thus, sonography has become an essential part of any specialist training. Explanations on the techniques, tips and interpretations of ultrasonography have been detailed in a separate chapter. The obstetrician-gynecologist should acquire the knowledge and skills in the field of ultrasonography so much so that it evolves as an essential armamentarium for diagnosis and management by themselves.
