Product Description
In the decade since the first edition of this work was published, an incredible array of reproductive technologies and associated issues has emerged. Obstetricians and gynecologists are hard-pressed to deal with the startling breadth and depth of these issues, which require mastery over a daunting combination of ever-increasing scientific knowledge, technical skills, long hours, legal liability, and exposure to clinical situations of overwhelming emotional intensity.

Psychiatrists have a vital role to play in helping obstetricians and gynecologists cope with a host of problems whose resolutions require not just technical skill, but also knowledge of biology, psychology, sociology, anthropology, ethics, and law. For example, to design and implement strategies to reduce the transmission of HIV, psychiatrists could work with public health workers to incorporate the psychology, sociology, and anthropology of female reproductive behavior. Psychiatrists could likewise improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast and pelvic malignancies by elucidating the factors that deter women from self-examination and regular medical screening and enhance treatment compliance.

Divided into three sections, this clinical and theoretical sourcebook addresses every major area of contemporary concern.

• Pregnancy covers topics from the psychology of normal gestation to physical and psychiatric complications during and after pregnancy, including new prenatal diagnostic techniques and the dynamic issues that emerge when abnormalities are detected, and the use of psychotropic drugs and electroconvulsive therapy in pregnant and lactating patients.
• Gynecology discusses not only common gynecologic problems but also more controversial issues such as induced abortion and the new reproductive technologies, including the role of the menstrual cycle in exacerbating and precipitating psychologic symptoms, the psychiatric aspects of menopause, the assessment and management of chronic pelvic pain, the psychosocial concomitants of gynecologic malignancies and the emotional demands on the oncology team, and the special implications of HIV/AIDS.
• General Issues offers a broad, balanced view of topics rarely found in the literature, such as men's reactions to women's reproductive events, substance abuse and eating disorders, sexual and physical abuse (often part of the histories of patients with personality disorders and posttraumatic stress disorders), ethical and legal issues, and health care for lesbian patients. Of special significance is Dr. Stotland's chapter on how consultation-liaison services are provided to obstetrics and gynecology services.

This practical and scholarly volume is exceptionally useful as a teaching reference for medical and other health care students and residents in psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology. It also provides a valuable resource for the clinician working to improve the psychological well-being of women patients. ... Read more

TeLinde's operative gynaecology
I love this book. My only worry is that the prints are rather small for my 'poor lighting' reading situation at night. I shall get a reading lamp.

Disappointed
i purchased this bood at the request of one of the physicians i work with.it's ok as far as explaning procedures and how they are done, but the dvd that was included does not contain video procedures of any surgies that ii need to learn.it would have been nice to actually watch an open abdominaal hysterectomy. visual aid is just as important as reading about a procedure.would not recommend

The Best for Gynecological Surgery
You can't find a better book if you're trying to learn gynecological surgery. It is really a complete text book.

Most useful gynecologic surgery textbook on the earth
This book is very useful for my gynecologic surgery learning period and just like a friendly teacher on my hand !!!

The "Bible" for Gyn Surgery
There are at least two texts that are considered "the authority" for internal medicine.The same for Obstetrics.

For Gyn surgery there is only one, and this is it. Te Linde's is so far ahead of any competitors that all Gynecologists I know consider any other texts to be useful only as supplements to Te Linde's.

It is also written in an easy to follow style - not as dry as many medical texts, and it is exhaustively complete.It would be worth the price (for a Gyn Surgeon) if only for the portions dealing with hysterectomy and surgical treatment of cystocele and stress urinary incontinence. ... Read more

Well worth the price for our busy OB/GYN protocols.
We have a very large single-speciality OBG group. I was able to use these with very little editing! That says volumes about the book.

Clinical Protocols helpful in Oral Board review
Hi. i first heard about Protocols from a posting on Medscape and bit the bullet in buying it to see if would be helpful in my review for my boards in November. though written in 2003 (new edition coming out 2/2008), i did find it helpful to augment study with Up To Date, Compendium (this book utilized the ACOG Practice Bulletins, etc), etc. it is alphabatized by topics and provides salient (in a nut-shell) info one should know, though these topics are not sectioned by GYN, OB, REI, ONC, etc and no pics are present, unfortunately. some very good tables and algorithms, particularly cardiac disease in pregnancy, breast disorders, etc. it also has a section on Boards in the back --these topics apparently are historically popular, but i wasn't asked much from there. i think the book would be helpful for boards study as an additional, but not sole, resource. i also think it would come in handy in day to day practice. the author has an interest (or has in the past) in working with ob/gyns trying to get boarded. ...

Great book! The easily understandable descriptions of both normal and abnormal anatomy along with helpful charts, study questions, and ultrasound images makes this book a great way to review and prepare for both the Abd and OB/GYN ultrasound registry exams.

OB/GYN reference
GREAT guide for residents.I used this book and dog-earred many pages.Well worth the money.

great review for CREOG
Great book..wonderful quick guide to everything you need to know fast!

I also used this as a quick review for CREOG's, it has all the high yield stuff they'll test you on!

Cons: a slightly larger type version should be considered.

Could be better...
For this book, you need a magnifying glass to read it! The print is way too small. It's okay to use when accompanied with a textbook but not great on its own. Additionally, I think it's out of date and not up to ACOG standards. Of the entire 5 week rotation, I picked up this book once!

review
best little book I had as a resident, comes in handy at least once a week as a community-hospital-based FP.

*THE* OB/GYN Book for your pocket...
You can tell the medical students at your local teaching hospital.They're the ones with the short lab coats and the pockets bulging with small paper-back books.

For those who are in training to become a Doctor a premium is placed on easily-accessible, highly accurate and important information.I remember going through my clinical rotations and thinking that I needed a "pocket" book for every medical rotation to supplement my massive 20-pound, $100 texts while I was on the wards and in the clinic.

Early into my OB/GYN Residency I got the hot scoop - THIS is the book to keep in your lab-coat if you're practicing OB/GYN.By the time I was a chief resident this book had saved me time and heartache and saved my patients from my blunders over and over.Like all "pocket" texts, this one doesn't contain lengthy discussions.But it DOES contain what you need to get through that night on OB/GYN call.And the next one.... and the next.

The treatment for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (and hundreds of other common clinical situations)- before it's burned into your brain it's right here at your fingertips.It even gives you concise "go-by's" for how to dictate your operative reports for the most common OB/GYN surgeries.

Since I got my first one a decade ago I've never NOT had a copy of this in my lab coat.I use it infrequently now, but when young trainees seem to need a push towards a clue - I push them towards this little gem. ... Read more

Gynecology and Obstetrics Current Clinical Strategies
The price was reasonable, it arrived in good shape, and because of its size I can carry it with me quite easily

good book, bad binding
Good book, great quick reference, easy to use, concise, contains the information you need, fell apart second time I opened it, rendered it worthless to carry around.

Slow Shipping
Product was in great condition, exactly as seller had described. Company order confirmation and payment were exchanged within minutes of purchase yet product did not ship until 13 days later. Total process took around 3 weeks!

Product Description
The evidence relating to the advances in obstetric practice and research over the past several decades have resulted in significant improvements in maternal and perinatal outcome. The obstetric care provider has the responsibility to be aware of these improvements and implement evidence-based practice when the situation requires. Clinical decisions should, as much as possible, be evidence based. This requires expertise in retrieving, interpreting, and applying the results of scientific studies and in communicating effectively the risks and benefits of different courses of action to patients.

The highly-regarded authors have used easy-to-follow management algorithms presented in a highly visual format to assist rapid decision making; with sections covering:

• Preventative Health
• Maternal Disorders
• Infectious Complications
• Antenatal Complications
• Intrapartum / Postpartum Complications

Featuring best obstetric management guidance, based on graded published evidence and recommendations, this book will enable practicing and trainee obstetrician-gynecologists and nurse midwives to ensure that the primary goals of the delivery of a healthy mother and a healthy baby are met. ...

Product Description
This textbook and atlas provides an excellent survey of this now very wide field: Detailed sonographic presentations of normal findings are followed in each case by the corresponding pathological findings, using the most recent images available. To make learning easier, most of the ultrasound images are compared with intraoperative, postoperative, or postpartum photographs of clinical and pathological conditions. Transvaginal sonography which is growing in importance alongside abdominal photography, is also given broad consideration. Numerous statistical graphs and tables, and an extensive list of references, round off this work. ... Read more

Make it through a night on call.
I am resident doctor training in Canada.
Based on interactions with my colleagues, I would easily say that the most frightening thing abour residency is being on call and hence being forced into terrifying unfamiliar territory/situations which you are expected to be able to handle alone. During the day, the entire team of residents and the attending can provide you with the back-up you need... not so useful when on call though.

This was my principle motive for purchasing this book and I wasn't disappointed. This book provides you with everything you need to deal with issues that arise when on-call. It's written in an easy to read format and walks you through ward and emergency issues as if you were encountering them for the first time. It will even direct you through the basics such as directing you to start an IV or a Foley (which may not be so basic when you are sleep deprived). It also explains simple concepts that you may have missed in medical school such as the volume of one unit of Fresh Frozen Plasma, and the degree to which each unit of platelets will raise the platelet count. What I particularly like is the ease by which you can get through this book. I read through the entire thing in about a week allowing me to cover alot of ground before starting my Obstetrics Rotation.

If you are looking for a comprehensive book that describes epidemiology, a complete list of risk factors, and a whole lot of impractical fluff, then this is not the book for you. It will however help you make it through the night.

I only wish I had discovered this book in medical school.

SOAP for Obstetrics and Gynecology features over 60 clinical problems with each case presented in an easy to read 2-page layout. Each step presents information on how that case would likely be handled. Questions under each category teach the students important steps in clinical care.

The book provides a broad set of ultrasound images and diagnoses relating to each. I particularly studied the ovarian section and it comprehensively covers all the major areas with exceptionally clear and pointed examples.

It would also be useful for third and fourth year students on their rounds. ... Read more
