The Caesarean Section by Erik Domini

• Indications, techniques, complications and alternatives with notes on obstetric practice in the tropics.

• Provides an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiopathology of childbirth, clinical diagnosis and management of obstetric problems.

• Brings together 25 years’ experience of obstetric practice in tropical countries.

• Aims to offer practitioners of obstetrics some basic concepts for tackling the various emergencies which arise generally in resource-poor environments.

• Targeted to those who have no specialised training and experience in obstetrics, difficulty in updating their knowledge and practise obstetrics in local healthcare centres in outlying areas which can be poorly equipped and lacking in trained personnel.
