The book contains an accompanying CD, which provides 20 interesting case studies. Several new case studies have been added in this edition. This would help in ensuring that the book chapters do not become too theoretical and a definite correlation with clinical practice is maintained. In the second edition, the textual matter has been extensively reconstructed with several current developments, which have taken place in obstetrics and gynecology since the publication of first edition (e.g. revised updated guidelines for screening of cervical cancer, 2012; new nontherapeutic modalities for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage, etc.). The second edition also encompasses new chapters on labor room procedures and various gynecological surgeries related to the treatment of endometriosis and urinary incontinence. To further simplify the surgeries, the text has been illustrated with the help of newly added beautiful, self-explanatory, multicolor pictures, tables and flow charts. The second edition also describes recent advances in gynecological laparoscopic surgery [especially robotic surgery, laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS), natural orifice transluminal surgery (NOTES), hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS), etc.], fetal surgery and surgeries related to assisted reproductive techniques.
