The Placenta: Basics and Clinical Significance - Softcover

This book is intended as a comprehensive work on the human placenta, spanning the gap between basic knowledge and clinical significance. Starting from normal development, it deals with the histopathology of the placenta, informs the reader about functional disorders and insufficiencies and explains their effects on mother and child.
Based on this, the authors convey in a practical and user-friendly manner everything worth knowing about diagnostics and therapy and give valuable advice for the optimal care of the pregnant patient.
