Gibbs: Danforth's Obstetrics and Gynecology 10th edition

Welcome to the hallmark 10th Edition of Danforth's Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the 42 years since the first edition of this text appeared, it has been widely recognized as a standard text book for practicing physicians, residents, medical students and nurses. Previous editions have been translated into several languages and the text has enjoyed wide readership over the face of the globe. As medical practice changes continually, we also have made important changes in the 10th Edition. Important new topics have been added including stillbirth, group B streptococci and a whole new section on pelvic reconstructive surgery. To add to the appeal of the text, we have added many two-color figures and there is an enlarged multi-color section. In the textbook's website, accessible to those who purchase the book, we will have the full text of the book including all figures and tables. Our objective throughout has been to provide in a single textbook, current cutting edge information on the practice of the breadth of obstetrics and gynecology. Our goal has been to provide this in a highly readable, user friendly and evidence-based fashion.

We are also happy to announce that with this 10th edition, we have a new editor, Dr. Ingrid Nygaard, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at the University of Utah. Dr. Nygaard replaced Dr. James R. Scott who had served as editor from the 5th through the 10th Editions—a record that will be long lasting. We also are most pleased to welcome new contributing authors, all experts in their fields, and returning contributing authors who have updated their previous chapters. With all of the pressures on faculty in academic departments these days, we know that writing a chapter for this text becomes a labor of love and demonstrates great commitment on the part of the authors to education and translating knowledge to the bedside.
We also wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to our administrative staff who labored extensively in the preparation of this text—Michelle Nelson at University of Colorado and Phyllis Lopez at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. Finally this book would not have been possible without the expertise and organization our trusty editors, Sonya Seigafuse and Ryan Shaw at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. We wish all of our readers continued success and gratification in the practice of obstetrics and gynecology.
