The main objective of fifth edition of this book "to provide a source of practical information about complications of pregnancy" as envisaged by Dr Fernando Arias - a doyen in field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has been kept intact with further building upon with recent developments in obstetrics and gynaecology. However, the content is thoroughly revised with inclusion of recent developments for management of all aspects of high-risk pregnancy and delivery. The content is contemporary, concise and evidence-based - covering approach, management and guidelines for treating patients with high risk. The text helps students to understand the concepts clearly and retain information as a quick reference for practitioners.

More colored images like Doppler changes, addition of partograms for abnormal labour, tables, flowcharts have also been included.
