Urgent Cases
This booklet is intended as a practical guide to patient care for registrars, medical officers, interns and medical students attached to the gynaecology units at the University of the Witwatersrand Academic Hospitals. Anyone can use it.
Problem cases, e.g. septic abortions, molar pregnancies, laparotomies etc. must be marked to be done by an appropriately experienced registrar or consultant. The anaesthetist must be informed about problem cases. In general, septic cases should be done at the end of a list, unless very urgent. No doctor should feel out of their depth if help/experience is at hand.
