Companion for Obstetrics and Gynecology: Practical Examination, 17/E for MBBS and OBG PG Students | Point-wise Tabulated Practical Exam Guide with Boxed Viva-Voce Questions and 40-Year Legacy: 1

Companion for Obstetrics and Gynecology: Practical Examination, 17/E is a time-tested, point-wise and tabulated practical-exam companion that has guided obstetrics and gynecology students for over 40 years, now thoroughly revised and updated in its 17th edition. Every topic is presented in a simplified, listing-and-tabulating style rather than long descriptive text, designed as a compact aid for rapid revision of the complete practical course rather than a discursive textbook.

The book is structured across 18 chapters plus a dedicated section on the Course of Practical Exam, covering Instruments, Catheters, Suture Materials and Needles, Obstetric Forceps and Vacuum Extractor, Contraception, MTP and the POCSO Act, Drugs, Obstetric and Gynecological Operations and Procedures, Bony Pelvis and Fetal Skull, Obstetric Case Proforma, Mechanism and Induction of Labor, Ultrasonography/X-rays/MRI, Specimens, Scores/Tests/FIGO Staging/Classifications, and Miscellaneous topics. This 17th edition adds a new chapter on Intravenous Fluids and Administration, and expands the chapters on Instruments, Contraception, Drugs, Obstetric Cases, Specimens, and Miscellaneous with updated content.

Content is organized under bolded subheadings with bulleted lists for indications, contraindications, complications, and stepwise procedures, boxed summary tables of key measurements and specifications, and labeled line diagrams and illustrations of instruments and techniques. Every chapter closes with a boxed set of Viva-Voce Questions built directly from that chapter’s content, turning the book into a ready self-testing tool for oral and practical examinations.

Who This Book Is For:

• Undergraduate medical students: preparing for university practical and viva examinations in obstetrics and gynecology need a compact, exam-focused revision aid covering the complete practical syllabus.
• Postgraduate (MD/MS/DNB) students in Obstetrics and Gynecology: use it to revise instruments, operative procedures, and case presentation formats ahead of practical and viva assessments.
• Medical college faculty and teachers: rely on its structured, point-wise format as a ready reference while conducting or preparing students for practical and viva sessions.
• Practicing obstetricians and gynecologists: keep it as a quick-reference refresher on instruments, drugs, and procedural details encountered in daily practice.

Why This Book Helps:

• Simplifies a wide practical syllabus: compresses instruments, operations, drugs, specimens, and imaging into a point-by-point format that avoids unnecessary elaboration.
• Builds exam-day confidence: the boxed Viva-Voce Questions section at the end of every chapter lets students self-test on exactly the material examiners are likely to probe.
• Keeps pace with practical requirements: the new Intravenous Fluids and Administration chapter and updated sections on Instruments, Contraception, Drugs, Obstetric Cases, Specimens, and Miscellaneous address current practical-exam expectations.
• Supports rapid last-minute revision: boxed measurement-summary tables and labeled instrument diagrams allow quick recall of details such as forceps dimensions and vacuum-extractor types without re-reading long text.
• Backed by four decades of classroom validation: the point-wise, tabulated approach has been refined edition after edition based on how students actually revise for practical exams.

Key Features:

• 18 chapters plus a dedicated Course of Practical Exam section, spanning the complete practical obstetrics and gynecology syllabus.
• A new chapter on Intravenous Fluids and Administration, added in this 17th edition.
• Boxed Viva-Voce Questions at the end of every chapter for structured self-assessment.
• Boxed summary tables of key measurements and specifications, such as forceps blade dimensions and vacuum-extractor types, for rapid recall.
