Description
Williams Obstetrics, 26th Edition is the gold-standard textbook that has shaped the practice of obstetrics for over a century. Recognized as a Doody’s Core Title for 2023, this authoritative and evidence-based reference is written by leading experts from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Hospital, institutions internationally renowned for excellence in obstetrical care and research.
This new edition preserves the hallmark strengths of scientific rigor, clinical relevance, and bedside applicability, while delivering the most current insights into modern obstetric practice. It provides comprehensive coverage of common and complex obstetrical complications, including preterm labor, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, infection, and obstetric hemorrhage, alongside essential foundations in reproductive anatomy, physiology, and prenatal care.
Enhanced with more than 1,000 high-quality, full-color illustrations, the 26th edition places increased emphasis on the rapidly expanding field of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM). Readers benefit from deeper exploration of in-utero complications, expanded fetal sections featuring advanced fetal imaging, genetics, prenatal diagnosis, fetal disorders, and fetal therapy, and updated discussions informed by the latest medical literature.
Additional updates include greater coverage of hypertension and hemorrhage, revised content on the physiology of labor and preterm birth, expanded obstetrical sonography, and striking new visual content—graphs, sonograms, MRIs, clinical photographs, and photomicrographs—to support clear understanding and rapid reference.
Essential for obstetrician-gynecologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, residents, midwives, and obstetric care providers, Williams Obstetrics, 26th Edition remains unmatched in scope, authority, and clinical utility, supporting optimal outcomes for mothers and babies alike.
