Gynecology Diagnosis and Management: Comprehensive Guide to Pathophysiology, Infertility, & Pelvic Surgery for Women's Health Residents

Most gynecology residents walk into their oral boards knowing the facts — and still struggle to answer the question that follows the question. Textbooks teach content. The ABOG Certifying Examination tests judgment, and no amount of memorized staging criteria prepares you for the moment an examiner says "what would you do if she fails first-line therapy?" This book was written for that moment — and for every clinical decision that precedes it. • The Clinical Reasoning Engine — five-part decision frameworks embedded in every chapter teach you to reason from presentation signal to oral defense, not just identify the correct answer • The LACC trial explained — understand exactly why open radical hysterectomy became the standard for cervical cancer and how to defend that decision under examination pressure • FIGO 2023 staging decoded — learn why uterine serous carcinoma confined to the endometrium is no longer Stage IA and what that reclassification means at the bedside • PARP inhibitors demystified — navigate BRCA status, HRD testing, and SOLO-1 versus PAOLA-1 maintenance decisions with a framework that works in real practice and on boards • 102 Oral Defense responses — model the language of the board-certified specialist across every subspecialty domain • 50-question Master Compendium Drill — test your reasoning across benign gynecology, oncology, urogynecology, infertility, and special populations before the examiner does This book is for women's health residents preparing for CREOG, the ABOG Qualifying Examination, and the ABOG Certifying oral format. Add it to your preparation today — your patients, and your examiners, will notice the difference.
