This edition places more emphasis on primary care and preventative health, and updated discussion is included on: aetiology and management of PMS; incontinence; female genital mutilation; rape; the battered woman; female homosexuality; laboratory srtudies for female annual health maintenance visits; ovarian remnant syndrome; and hypersection of LH and its effects on spontaneous abortion.
This is the by far the best textbook on gynecology! I would recommend this as one of the first books you buy as an Ob/Gyn resident. It really is "comprehensive" and well-written.

Very well written and practically laid out. Superior to Novak's, Kistner, or Danforth.

I found Comprehensive Gynecology to be the best text I have read in this field. It is clear and consise yet comprehensively summarizes the current literature on each topic. Each chapter begins with a glossary of terms and ends with an excellent point by point review of key concepts. The text covers basic sciences, comprehensive evaluation of the female, general gynecology, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility. The chapters are well organized and include a synopsis of the current literature. I would recommend this text to anyone studing for fellowship exams. I have also read Copeland's Gynecology and in comparison found Comprehensive Gynecology to be superior in organization and readability.
