Summary: Very readable general reference on gynaecology
Comment: With contributions from authorities in different aspects
of obstetrics and gynaecology, this book provides the
reader with excellent overview, ranging from the anatomy
of the pelvis (in this edition moved to an appendix),
to legal an moral aspects of the profession.

Each of the chapters are relatively easy to read, but the
coverage tends to vary in depth. It is clearly not the
intention of the authors to provide the reader with last
word on each topic, but ample references show the

way further. Statistical data, when provided, are up to
date and consistent with the quoted references.

I particularly liked the chapters on labor and delivery,
malpresentations and caesarians. A lot of chapters are
dedicated to pregnancies complicated by (maternal) pathologies
and there is even a chapter on neonatal care. Some of the
authors tend to "overdo it a bit" when fulminating against
unneccessary caesarians, but considering the incidence data
in America compaired to the rest of the developed world, they
do have a point.

I can recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent
starter in obstetrics, but I tend to disagree with another
reviewer calling it "the Nelson (in pediatrics) for OB",
because it has much less the intention to be comprehensive.

Rating: 4
Summary: The Harrison's for OB
Comment: Like Harrison's is for internal medicine and Nelson's for peds, so is Gabbe for OB. Anything you want to know about pregnancies and managing deliveries is in this book. It's a bit large to just sit down and read, but it makes a great reference book.
