Basic practical gynaecology

RESUMO

The aim of this manual is to provide medical students and junior doctors with a means by which they can confidently approach the management of commonly encountered clinical problems in gynaecology. The format is intended to allow rapid and easy access to information because of the alphabetical listing; the wide margins are meant to highlight important differential diagnosis, to suggest helpful hints as well as to provide prescription information. Ample space has been left for personalised notes. As teachers at the University of the West Indies, we have been able to identify that these are the aspects of knowledge which trainees and students seek in order to complement information obtained from the traditional textbooks. It is our hope that readers find that their reference to these pages provides them with information which will impact favourably upon the efficient management of their patients
