Audit in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
This book provides a practical approach to audit in obstetrics and gynaecology and is divided into three sections.

In addition the information requirements for a successful audit programme are described. The second section deals with audit in obstetrics, analysing antenatal and perinatal care and methods for perinatal and maternal mortality and morbidity. The third section deals with audit in gynaecology, covering long-term studies of out- and inpatient care, cytology and colposcopy and gynaecological oncology.

Medical Disorders in Obstetric Practice
Obstetricians must have a firm grounding in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting pregnant women as in some cases these may threaten the life of mother or baby or both. This book still remains the standard reference work on medical disorders in obstetric practice in the UK and UK-influenced areas such as the former Commonwealth. Exhaustive in its coverage, it provides clear practical advice on the major medical disorders the obstetrician is likely to encounter. Each chapter reviews the pathophysiology of a complaint then applies the physiological and pathophysiological changes to the problem of diagnosis and management of the disorder as well as giving clear guidance on the welfare of the unborn One of the major strengths of the book is that each chapter teaches the principles of care and gives an appreciation of the natural history of the disease rather than just the facts. Although a scholarly and rigourous account it manages to point out the clinically relevant information that the practising obstetrician will actually need.
Without Consent
Without Consent is the horrific true story of what happened to women in a modern Irish hospital, Our Lady of Lourdes, Drogheda. Over the course of 25 years, Dr Michael Neary betrayed his patients, his profession and himself by unnecessarily removing the wombs, and sometimes ovaries, of a large number of women. Young women were denied the chance to become mothers, instead being forced to suffer early menopause, while many older women had healthy organs removed for non-existent diseases. These women lost their faith in a hospital system they depended on. The story only emerged when a brave midwife, “Ann”, told the truth, leading to one of the greatest scandals in modern Ireland. This is al...
Maternal Obesity and Pregnancy
A dramatic and worldwide increase is occurring in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in women of childbearing age. Obese women carry a significant excess risk of a variety of serious complications during pregnancy, and in addition, maternal obesity predisposes to obesity in the offspring. This book provides a timely update on the latest knowledge on maternal obesity and pregnancy. A very wide range of issues are covered, including macrosomia and associated shoulder dystocia; the risk of miscarriage, malformations, and complications of pregnancy; the impact of hyperglycemia; clinical management; consequences for anesthesia and ultrasound; impacts on breastfeeding, fertility, and childhood obesity; and pregnancy following gastric surgery. All of the authors are recognized experts in their fields, and the book has been designed to meet the practical needs of obstetricians, gynecologists, internists, and general practitioners.

A Violation Against Women
On 10 July 1995, Kathleen Ward went into Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda to give birth. While she was there, her ability to give birth to any future children was taken away from her, without her consent. At the hands of Dr Michael Neary, she underwent an unplanned and unnecessary hysterectomy. She was not the only one. Dr Neary performed 188 peripartum hysterectomies over a twenty-five year period, according to the Judge Harding Clark Report. For Kathleen, what followed this violent and unwanted surgery was a dark period filled with debilitating panic attacks and traumatic relivings of the operation, all while she remained the primary breadwinner in her family and sought treatment f...
