Obstetrics and gynaecology is a practical subject. In order to be a competent practitioner, the trainee needs to acquire a broad range of skills. Learning the art and science of surgery and medicine has not changed over the centuries and most procedures are learnt by patient mentoring by senior colleagues. The purpose of this book is to provide the trainee with a step by step practical approach to a number of everyday procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
The trainee will be able to use the text to familiarise him or herself with the steps involved in the safe performance of various techniques prior to commencing hands on training. The techniques described in this volume are by no means exhaustive but they represent tried and tested techniques by an individual who has a wealth of experience in the procedure.
It would be advisable to read a specific chapter prior to commencing the practical learning process. Surgery is mastered by repetition and this book can be used to retrace your steps and remind yourself of the various important principles involved in the procedure.
