AB This  latest  edition  of  Dr.  Harry  Oxorn's  text  is  the  result  of  collaboration  between  numerous  physicians  in  the  Department  of  Obstetrics  and  Gynecology  at  the  Ottawa  Hospital.  Although  modern  medicine  relies  heavily  on  science  and  technology,  the  most  astute  accoucheurs  still  practice  the  art  of  obstetrics  embraced  in  this  book.  Much  has  changed,  but  much  has  remained  the  same.  Although  every  chapter  has  been  revised  and  refreshed,  we've  endeavored  to  stay  true  to  the  utilitarian  spirit  of  the  book  that  Dr.  Oxorn  intended.  This  textbook  is  not  a  treatise  on  theoretical  evidence-based  obstetrics  that  can  only  be  practiced  at  tertiary  centers;  rather,  it  is  a  handbook  of  useful  information  for  practitioners  in  the  trenches  who  need  real  advice  on  how  to  manage  real  problems.  New  additions,  such  as  a  chapter  on  the  challenges  of  obesity  in  pregnancy,  descriptions  of  modern  techniques  for  the  management  of  postpartum  hemorrhage,  and  an  expanded  treatment  of  multiples,  refl  ect  the  modernization  of  Dr.  Oxorn's  work.
