More DescriptionAn advanced clinical text, this book covers the complex medical and surgical problems that can occur during pregnancy. With chapters written by a distinguished and wide-ranging group of practitioner, the book details conditions that are often frustrating or confusing to obstetricians, giving rise to uncertainty, delay, or erroneous diagnosis.
