- The ten years since the first edition of Operative Obstetrics have witnessed considerable changes in obstetric practice. There has been a continued increase in the rate of cesarean delivery, and the use of minimally-invasive surgery has rapidly gained popularity.
- Social changes affecting practice have also been significant, prompting a reevaluation of the appropriateness of certain types of operations during pregnancy.
- This fully-updated edition includes chapters on cesarean delivery, birth injury, ectopic pregnancy, and common surgical complications.
- It features a new discussion of surgical procedures performed by non-physicians and an updated treatment of fetal surgery.
- The text also considers complicated and controversial subjects such as cervical insufficiency, pregnancy termination, instrumental delivery, and shoulder dystocia. Each of the four sections includes an in-depth analysis of the important ethical and legal issues underlying practice for the area in question.
- An expanded appendix reviews legal concepts pertinent to practitioners in the field of obstetrics.
