🩺 About This Book

For over 40 years, this compact powerhouse has been the go-to practical exam companion for Obstetrics & Gynecology students. Now in its 17th edition, it has been thoroughly revised and updated — keeping the beloved point-wise, tabulated format that generations of MBBS and PG students have trusted for last-minute revision and viva preparation.

⭐ Key Features

• 📋 18 chapters + a dedicated Course of Practical Exam section — covering the complete OBG practical syllabus
• 🆕 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 (forceps blade dimensions, vacuum-extractor types) for instant recall
• 🖊️ Labeled line diagrams & illustrations of instruments, techniques, and devices — obstetric forceps, vacuum extractor cups, Odon device, and more
• 🔄 Expanded chapters on Instruments, Contraception, Drugs, Obstetric Cases, Specimens & Miscellaneous with updated content
• 🏆 40 years of continuous classroom validation since the First Edition in 1985

📚 What's Inside

👩‍⚕️ Who Should Read This?

• 🎓 MBBS students preparing for university practical & viva exams in Obstetrics & Gynecology
• 🔬 PG students (MD/MS/DNB) in OBG revising instruments, operative procedures & case presentation formats
• 👨‍🏫 Medical college faculty — a structured ready reference for conducting or preparing students for practicals & vivas
• 🏥 Practicing obstetricians & gynecologists as a quick-reference refresher on instruments, drugs & procedural details

💡 Why This Book Stands Out

• ✅ Compresses a vast practical syllabus into a clean, point-by-point format — no unnecessary elaboration
• ✅ Viva-Voce Questions at chapter-end let you self-test exactly what examiners probe
• ✅ Boxed measurement tables & labeled diagrams enable rapid last-minute recall
• ✅ Backed by four decades of edition-by-edition refinement based on how students actually revise
