"For over 25 years, and through four prior editions, this book has espoused the "USC way" of managing clinical problems in obstetrics and gynecology. This fifth edition, again exclusively organized and written by the department faculty, fellows and residents, continues the tradition. Major milestones in our specialty, electronic fetal monitoring, ultrasound, colposcopy, and laparoscopy, formed an impressive panoply of techniques that were refined and firmly established in the last part of the previous century. Since the fourth edition was published 8 years ago, other advances have occurred, which will be addressed in this edition"--Provided by publisher.
