Gynecology

Introduction

This new edition is a thorough and easy-to-use guide to gynecology for residents preparing for their CREOG and board examinations.

Book Types for Gynecology Residents

Books available for gynecology residents are generally either clinically directed or academically based. The books in the first group are usually brief, suitable as handbooks for residents to use during daily practice. These books, however, do not provide adequate background information to prepare for CREOG or ABOG board examinations. The more academically-focused books provide detailed background, but do not offer simple and quick assistance during daily practice or studying.

Purpose of This Book

This book aims to provide the most beneficial parts of both products. Throughout, the material is simplified and well-organized to provide an excellent resource for clinical practice, with ample use of bullets and key points. The content is also comprehensive, providing the appropriate background knowledge and a systematic approach that makes it an excellent source for the board examination.

Topics Covered

Topics are divided into four sections: general gynecology, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and gynecology oncology. Chapters then cover all major topics in each area, including uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, and genital infections. Each chapter additionally includes multiple choice questions for residents to test their knowledge of the material.

New Edition Features

The new edition includes two new chapters on vulvar skin disorders and female sexual dysfunction and is updated throughout.

Intended Audience

This is an ideal guide for residents in OBGYN and practicing gynecologists looking for a refresher and quick reference.
