This edition of D C Dutta’s Textbook of Gynaecology is a very comprehensive basic textbook in gynaecology for undergraduate students, postgraduate students and even practicing physicians.
It is simply written and easy to understand. Several newer topics have been added and discussed.The POP classification in prolapse and the use of meshes for prolapse repair, AUB, colposcopy, chemotherapy in cancer to name a few. There is a chapter titled “Special Topics” where leucorrhoea, pelvic pain and low backache are discussed. There is a need to address these issues which are common complaints in any gynaecology OPD for teaching to be practically oriented.
The addition of adolescent gynaecology, sexual dysfunction and contraception in detail is welcome.
Recent advances in immunotherapy, gene therapy, operative gynaecological endoscopy and current topics like stem cells are discussed, and this gives the reader an overview of these topics.
In the practical gynaecology section, instruments, specimens, pictures of imaging studies are presented in great detail with accompanying questions and answers which have an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) format which helps students in preparing for examination.
The several photographs, tables, algorithms, diagrams, boxes and imaging study pictures make understanding topics easier.
The addition of a DVD which contains the two most common surgeries in gynaecology, abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and vaginal hysterectomy adds value to this book
