Obstetrics Surgery

Obstetrics in a nutshell is the care of pregnant women. It is concerned with the care of women and their unborn children during pregnancy and during childbirth. It is also concerned with the pre-natal health of the fetus and finally the post-natal care of the mother to ensure she is recovering well. Gynecology, on the other hand, is simply an umbrella term encompassing the treatment of any disorder or disease that is prevalent in the female reproductive system. This would include the organs of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, vagina. Since none of these live in a vacuum, gynecology also involves the bowel, bladder, and other portions of the GI and urinary systems.
