Williams Manual of Obstetrics

The Manual distills the key facts and diagnostic and treatment guidelines from Williams Obstetrics. Material has been rewritten and reorganized to better serve as a quick-reference for students and clinicians. Each chapter is referenced to the related chapter(s) in the parent text to facilitate further study. Select tables and illustrations from the main text are also included. The authors update references and guidelines on a continual basis and have incorporated updates since publication of the parent text (April 2001), giving users reference to the latest clinical trials at their fingertips.
