Cunningham and Gilstrap's Operative Obstetrics

Cunningham and Gilstrap's Operative Obstetrics, 3rd Edition, provides step-by-step guidance for surgical procedures in obstetrical practice. Emphasizing the scientific underpinnings of clinical obstetrics, the volume is organized into four main sections covering general surgical considerations, antepartum care, intrapartum deliveries, and postpartum management.

Core subjects span surgical instruments, incisions and closures, first-trimester pregnancy complications, fetal diagnosis and therapy, complex vaginal and cesarean deliveries, and obstetrical hemorrhage.

Visual instruction includes more than 670 illustrations, featuring sonograms, magnetic resonance images, photographs, and micrographs. Full-color surgical illustrations provide visual guidance across both simple and complex procedures.
