Excellent book
November 20, 2016
This book was concise enough to read as a review text for mrcog, with detailed information suitable for a resident’s level.
The sbas cover a wide range of topics from the mrcog syllabus. In my last month of preparation this was the only book I used, in order to have clear, reliable information at my finger tips and suitable questions to test myself. I used it in conjunction with my other question banks.
The price is quite reasonable, so I took a chance on this book and it paid off!

Textbook for MRCOG – 1: Basic Sciences in Obstetrics & Gynaecology; Richa Saxena
International Standard Book Number-13: 978-9385891281
(Please also see the other one-star review on .co.uk by M.F about the error on purines and pyrimidines, chapter 8, page 258.)
The author, by her own admission in the preface / foreword in the book, has not done MRCOG. It is like me writing a book on International Space Station and Space-walk, having had no potential or experience for such feat.
This book is good neither for the naïve nor for a discerning professional. I returned it for full refund (.co.uk).
1) Errors 2) Not the right syllabus.
Details as below.
As for the attachments, you may kindly see my review on .co.uk

1) Errors
See attachments:
– scanned page 60, Question 15 of this book and
– figure 61.16 of Gray’s Anatomy
From among 5 choices given there ought to be only one answer to each question in an SBA (Single Best Answer) format.
But for question number 15 on page 60, there are in fact TWO choices: C and E.
About C:
There is no inTerior epigastric artery in human body. It is inFerior epigastric artery. The terminology “Interior epigastric artery” in itself should make the C as the Single Best Answer (SBA) if it was meant to be printed as “interior”.
So “interior epigastric artery” is the Single Best Answer for two reasons:
(i) such an artery doesn’t exist
(ii) if “interior” is a printing error for “inferior”, that does NOT pass through the inguinal canal.
About E:
Spermatic cord does’t exist in a female. Again this becomes yet ANOTHER “Single” Best Answer.
So page 60 Q 15 has TWO answers, C and E. Choosing any one will imply that the other structure indeed passes through the inguinal canal.
Page 60 of this book also shows the answer to this question below the red line (15. E).
Quote from Gray’s Anatomy (attachment) states that the inferior epigastric artery maintains a MEDIAL relation to the inguinal canal. It does not pass THROUGH the inguinal canal (whether male or female). This can be clarified with any standard book on Anatomy from the shelf.
Interestingly, I find that human anatomy hasn’t changed since I studied that about four decades ago…
With such a glaring errors, the entire book is deemed unreliable. There could be many more errors in the book which could be misguiding.
When I wrote to the seller (Prabh Books, New Delhi), they contacted Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers and they came to me saying that there is no error in the book, that means only one thing – the publishers are ignorant. That is quite understandable – if the author(s) / editor(s) don’t know what they are writing, a layman publisher can’t be expected to know better.

2) Syllabus not focussed – see attachments
Syllabus is all over the place. It starts with circle of Willis and goes on to revise thorax and female breasts. These are not included in the official syllabus for MRCOG Part 1 exam, as in:
Your Essential Revision Guide MRCOG Part One
2nd Edition, Edited by Alison Fiander and Bhaskaran Thilaganathan
Cambridge University Press; 2 edition (2016); International Standard Book Number-13: 978-1107667136
The official companion to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists revision course.

Tread with care if you plan to read this book even from your library.
Best wishes to author and hapless readers.

The book contains some errors
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2018
Chapter 8 (genetics) page 254 states that adenine and thymine are purine bases while cytosine and guanine are pyrimidine bases. This is wrong.
Adenine and guanine are purines while cytosine and thymine are pyrimidines.
Chapter 1(principles of clinical practice) page 3; the author states that one of the following conditions (referring to Fraser Guidelines) should be fulfilled where it is in fact ALL criteria should be met.
If it weren’t for my background in genetics and my medical ethics lectures during medical school, I would not have noticed these errors.
Finally, many bits of the pathology chapter are literally copied from Basic Sciences for obstetrics and Gynaecology by Tim Chard and Richard Lilford (chapter 5).
There might be other errors in this book but I decided not to pursue it any further.
