Product Description
The first of a four volume system, this is an ideal tool for medical students and non-specialist doctors working in rural areas where patient referral is impractical or impossible. Focusing on obstetric and gynecological methods, the book provides coverage of such problems as Caesarean section, the release of pus from infected areas, the control of bleeding, hernias, and hepatitis B. It also furnishes information on some less common difficulties, and includes a helpful section on the organization of the operating room as well as a detailed equipment list. Previously published volumes in the series include Trauma and Primary Anaesthesia.

He saved me (and my patient) at least 3 times February 7, 2002

This book enables you to do any kind of surgical operations, even if you are not able at all, even if you have never seen that operation done before. It is mainly focused on low technology operating techniques but shows also how to perform very complicated operations. It tells you all kinds of problems you can expect, all kinds of complication you may cause by your incapacity and how to solve them.
I used it a lot right before operations; it told me in advance the mistakes I would do and how to repair the damage.
Even if you work in a rich country you will find it great; in fact, even with high technology operating theatres, you can still use low technology to solve big problems.

This manual for surgery in Lesser Developed Countries would be invalualble for any physician contemplating working overseas in operating suites far less sophisticated than they would be used to here in the United States. It is full of specific descriptions and illustrations covering a comprehensive list of surgical procedures one may be asked to do while doing volunteer medical work. The little vignettes about actual situations at the end of each chapter add an excellent perspective. My associate,... has used this book extensively in Haiti for thirteen years, and finds it extremely useful.
