Preface to the Fourth Edition

It gives us a feeling of immense pleasure and satisfaction to present this edition of the book. Revising and updating an already popular book is a bigger challenge than writing a new book. The bottom line for revision of any textbook is, deleting the obsolete and adding new information. One has to be careful whilst adding the new knowledge to a book that is mainly targeted to undergraduate students; it should be clear and devoid of controversies. It should be relevant and decipherable. The book should be comprehensive yet not too exhaustive. Whilst taking care of larger section of the students, it is desirable that the book should also address the concerns of the students who aspire to score distinction and use it while preparing for PG entrance exams. The information given in todays books has to be evidence based, the book should incorporate international guidelines, management protocols and recent advances in the field, so that even postgraduate students in Obstetrics and Gynecology find the book useful. Undergraduate or Postgraduate, the present day students expect the book to be like one stop shop as well as a fast-food joint. All these concerns have been kept in the mind whilst revising this book.

Every chapter has been thoroughly edited, revised and updated with recent advances in Obstetrics. The book has been made comprehensive with addition of new content, algorithms, figures, drug regimens and tables. In chapters on basic sciences, applied/clinical aspects have been added to make it more interesting. In the section of diagnosis and management of normal and abnormal pregnancy, information on newer modalities of prenatal diagnosis has been added. Modified WHO partogram has been included. In the section of medical disorders of pregnancy, latest international and Indian guidelines on management have been incorporated. Section on fetal well-being and prenatal diagnosis has been extensively updated.

Several new chapters have been added namely Obstetric History Taking, Obstetric Examination, Labour Care a Ready Reckoner, Obstetric Management Decision Making, Management in post caesarean pregnancy, which would help not only under-graduate and post-graduate students but also the practicing obstetricians, in understanding the core of obstetric management, making the right decision and administering the right treatment. Chapters on Obstetric Instruments and Specimens in Obstetrics has been added to help students, prepare for viva voce, thus making it all-in-one cover book. All in all, this edition is a comprehensive book with clear concepts, concrete up-to-date knowledge and student friendly one-stop obstetrics textbook.
