Modern obstetrics

After 8 years, the reader gets an updated and updated edition of a very successful publication. Significant changes and advances have been made in almost all areas covered in the book. The content of the new publication is therefore modified, some chapters are significantly more extensive (management of childbirth, obstetric operations). Completely new chapters are included - for example, on the development of the individual from the perspective of genetics and chapters on psychology and sociology. The book does not only cover study questions - whether for the rigorous examinations at the medical faculty or in the undergraduate midwifery studies, it also contains information beyond the scope of knowledge required for the attestation. The aim of the authors was to describe contemporary obstetrics in a medical and societal context. The book is thus intended for certifying physicians, specialists, but also for medics, and midwives will also find the necessary information in it.

The full-colour publication is richly documented with pictures, compared to the first edition the size of the publication is larger by 250 pages and richer by 130 pictures.
