BOOK REVIEW
Invited Book Review: Prof. Hiralal Konar’s D C Dutta’s Textbook of Obstetrics Including Perinatology and Contraception
The 10 edition of D C Dutta’s Obstetrics Textbook is released
in 2023,within its due time frame. As before , this popular
comprehensive textbook is aimed to serve the readers with
the updated knowledge.
It is enriched with the incorporation of contemporaneous
guidelines and the recommendations of FOGSI and the other
international academic bodies. Importantly, this 10 edition is
written fulfilling the curriculum, as designed by the National
Medical Commission (NMC) of India.
The presentation and the language throughout the text is
simple and
unambiguous. It is enriched with huge number (more than
790) of illustrations, photographs, images ( USG, MRI),
sketches, flowcharts, and boxes. The key points at the end of
each chapter are of special value for quick revision before the
examination. QR codes are there for more information. The
video lecture series, case presentations, animations for
procedures, and maneuvers are added for easy
understanding and skill development .
Author has given much emphasis on the changing trends in
current obstetric practice in India and the world over . Current
progress in diagnostic imaging, prenatal diagnosis, labor
monitoring and maternal –fetal medicine, have been
adequately highlighted.
I feel, D C Dutta’s Textbook of Obstetrics, authored by Prof.
Hiralal Konar, is an updated comprehensive textbook .This
book is a must for all the medical students, residents,
practicing Obstetricians and the midwives.
