There is now a worldwide awareness of the vast number of women with untreated childbirth injury in Africa and other poor countries. These shameful injuries are preventable but this will not occur until there is improved access to quality obstetric care. While prevention is the top priority, there is a great need to train more surgeons, especially nationals, to have the skill and resources to help these long-suffering incontinent women. Following on from the success of First Steps in Vesico-Vaginal Fistula Repair (2005), a beginner's guide, Practical Obstetric Fistula Surgery goes into greater depth, covering all aspects of management and describing a range of cases from basic to complex. It draws on the extensive experience of the two authors. The text is direct and clear, with many step-by-step photographs to describe the various procedures. Nursing care, so important to success, is concisely covered. Fistula surgery takes a long time to learn and this book will be a practical guide to anyone undertaking this type of surgery. It will be especially useful as a guide to understanding which cases are within an individual's capabilities. Brian Hancock MD FRCS Honorary Consultant Surgeon, University Hospital of South Manchester, UK

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
