| Summary |
"Munro Kerr's Operative Obstetrics not only presents a fully up-to-date account of the subject, taking into account all recent clinical development, but also celebrates the centenary of its first publication. Since the time when Munro Kerr wrote the first edition there have been enormous improvements in intrapartum care and a corresponding drop in maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This new eleventh edition continues to set out the sound clinical and surgical principles necessary to maintain and improve this trend and will be of great value to all trainee and practising obstetricians. The advice and management described should be relevant for those working with more limited resources as well as those working in fully equipped tertiary care hospitals."--BOOK JACKET |
