Description
A core reference for residents and practitioners for over 35 years, Danforth's Obstetrics and Gynecology is now in its thoroughly revised Ninth Edition. To ensure complete, authoritative coverage of recent changes in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Scott has selected three distinguished new co-editors: Ronald S. Gibbs, MD, a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine and infectious diseases; Beth Karlan, MD, a gynecologic oncologist; and Arthur Haney, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist. Content has been reorganized to focus on the modern clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology with maximum authority. This edition has more tables and algorithms that will speed access to critical information.

An earlier edition is included in the Brandon/Hill list of medical books for the small medical library. The ninth edition presents a new approach, where the formerly free-standing science chapters have now been presented as clinically oriented chapters and a greater focus on evidence-based medicine has been applied throughout. Each of the 59 chapters is written by specialists, almost all of whom practice and teach in the US. All the chapters are either new or have been revised. Among the chapter titles are fetal monitoring, multiple gestation, diabetes mellitus and pregnancy, amenorrhea, androgen excess disorders, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, incontinence, leiomyomata, disorders of the breast, and medical ethics.
