In the era of specialization, obstetricians are becoming increasingly skilled in their jobs while simultaneously losing expertise in areas outside their field. The education and training curricula for obstetrics and gynecology have undergone significant changes in recent years, placing greater emphasis on managing women with complex gynaecological problems during pregnancy and the postnatal period. Obstetricians are expected to be competent in handling these issues, even though their training and curricula may not provide extensive coverage of these complex problems.

This practical book aims to address common gynaecological problems such as ovarian cysts, management of vaginal prolapse, and female genital mutilation. It provides guidance for managing these conditions throughout the different stages of pregnancy and post-partum. Each chapter includes a section on good governance, discussing key points for clinical practice to enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and reduce complaints and litigation.

The book is designed to be a hands-on resource for obstetricians around the world, offering them the evidence-based knowledge needed to deliver high-quality care to pregnant women. It covers a wide range of topics, including prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum care, and the management of complications. By providing comprehensive and up-to-date information, the book aims to assist obstetricians in providing optimal care to their patients and improving the outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth.
