The aim of this book is to provide a straightforward summary of the knowlยญ edge required for examinations in specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Part Two of the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Obยญ stetricians and Gynaecologists would be a good example. The volume is intended as a companion to the highly successful Basic Sciences for Obยญ stetrics and Gynaecology which covers the knowledge required for preยญ liminary examinations. Increasingly, examinations of all types are based on multiple choice quesยญ tions (MCQ) or structured answer questions (SAQ). No apology is made for the fact that the present book addresses the sort of "fact" which lends itself to testing by this approach. Thus, there is little discussion of speculaยญ tive or contentious areas, no account of present or future research, and no references. Numerous excellent books are available which cover these topยญ ics in a much fuller and more discursive manner, and the present volume does not seek to emulate them
