Reviews

"Concise presentation of each topic with a very readable and easy to browse text on the core material, supplemented by well illustrated tables and diagrams. It maintains clarity throughout, presenting the most fundamental principles in a note form with clear management guidelines...a useful introductory and/or revision book. It's small size makes it easy to carry around on the wards for a quick reference."Cambridge Medicine, Addenbrooke's Clinical School Gazette Reviews of previous, separate, editions"The layout is exceptional. The print is clear and easily read, with well defined headings and subheadings. Tables and diagrams are uniformly excellent, with information and concepts easy to grasp for even tired eyes...this is an excellent volume, the best of its genre for medical students and those needing an enjoyable crash course in gynaecology. Reasonably priced and highly recommended." Alan B Hughes, Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery "well edited, concise, and a useful source of information." - 2nd Opinion, Edinburgh Student Gazette "Thankfully these are nothing like my lecture notes. This book is packed with useful info." Surgo, Glasgow University Medical Journal "A really easy book to read, useful in enabling students to grasp the basics." Northwing - Sheffield Medical Magazine
