This new edition of Shaw’s Textbook of Operative Gynaecology provides coverage of gynaecological surgery applicable to the tropics and developing world where the range and extent of pathology is very different from that seen in western society. It describes operations in sufficient detail that the postgraduate trainee will be able to learn every step of the operation prior to witnessing the operation and to use the book as a reminder/refresher prior to operating.
