Opis

This immensely practical handbook provides the busy clinician with a self-contained account of the diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy. Such pregnancies, which develop outside the uterine cavity, are an increasingly common occurrence. The focus throughout is on diagnosis and management issues, and the author provides rapid solutions to the most difficult problems posed by ectopic pregnancy. The text is fully supported by numerous and helpful ultrasound images, line diagrams illustrating surgical techniques, and by highlighted summaries of key facts and decision trees.

Recenzje

' … invaluable for the clinician and researcher alike. It can be 'dipped into' to answer a particular clinical question or can be used as an excellent reference book.' Mary Wingfield, Irish Medical Journal
