The manual "Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology", reaching its 4th edition, demonstrates both the rapid and multidimensional evolution of the Obstetrics-Gynecology specialty and the tremendous success of the textbook that - rightly - has been embraced internationally by both students and obstetrician-gynecologists. It is obvious that the practice of obstetrics and gynecology requires a combination of knowledge from various medical specialties, such as surgery, pathology, pathophysiology, oncology, endocrinology, and pathological anatomy. 

The purpose of the textbook is to provide a comprehensive and fully updated depiction of the modern data in the field, with updated information, self-assessment topics in obstetrics and gynecology, while expanding on issues related to mental health and disorders, and adding a valuable new chapter on emergency situations and the challenges faced by those practicing obstetrics and gynecology under pressure. 

The updated information in this edition, the key points at the end of each chapter, the hundreds of color images, tables, and boxes are valuable aids in understanding the material, as they highlight the essentials of each unit and are useful for quick review.
