Product Description
Review
"Gynaecology by Ten Teachers is a clear favourite for those studying the subject."
Product Description
First published in 1919 under the title Diseases of Women, Gynaecology by Ten Teachers has become a world-renowned textbook in its field. The eighteenth edition of this classic book is thoroughly updated in line with the new curriculum, integrating clinical material and incorporating the latest advances in Gynaecology.
The book also retains its comprehensive coverage of the subject area, and the much-loved textual features of previous editions. Each chapter is highly structured, with an overview, definition, prevalence, aetiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis, investigations, treatment, key points, new developments, and references where appropriate.
With a new Editor and a new team of contributing authors, the eighteenth edition combines authoritative detail with a clear guide to essential knowledge. Both Gynaecology and Obstetrics volumes are carefully edited to ensure consistency of structure, style and level of detail, and to avoid overlap of material.
This book owes a great debt to Professor Stuart Campbell who, along with the present editor Ash Monga, was responsible for introducing the concepts and features to the seventeenth edition that are continued here.

this edition is a major failure, the book lacks the detail of the previous edition which is a shame if you are serious about understanding the topics. i would buy the previous edition which is much better.

I have in front of me the 16th edition (1995) and 18th edition (2006). They are two entirely different books.
The 16th edition is comprehensive and explains things in detail to assist understanding. The 18th edition misses out all of this detail and provides only one short paragraph on many important common pathologies e.g. Bartholin's cyst. It COMPLETELY OMITS certain other common pathologies e.g. mid-cycle ovulatory pains (which are included in the 16th edition).
And whilst managing all of these feats, the 18th edition is somehow also physically thicker than the 16th edition :S. Perhaps they used a larger font size? Because in terms of useful content, its much less.
I'm just lucky I didn't buy the 18th edition. I borrowed it from a library.
