The first edition of Williams Obstetrics was published over a century ago. Since then, the editors of this seminal text have presented a comprehensive and evidence-based discussion of obstetrics. Patterned after our patriarch, Williams Gynecology provides a thorough presentation of gynecology's depth and breadth. In Section 1, general gynecology topics are covered, whereas Sections 2 through 4 offer content on the gynecologic subspecialties. Of note, the developing field of female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery is presented.
Traditionally, gynecologic information has been offered either within the format of a didactic text or that of a surgical atlas. However, because the day-to-day activities of a gynecologist blend these two, so too do we. The initial five sections of our book describe the evaluation and medical treatment of gynecologic problems. The remaining section offers an illustrated atlas for the surgical correction of these conditions. Discussions of disease evaluation and treatment are evidence based, and our text strives to assist the practicing gynecologist and resident. Accordingly, chapters are extensively complemented by illustrations, photographs, diagnostic algorithms, and treatment tables.
