This "how-to" manual encompasses the author's 18 years of experience in the performance of Dilation and Evacuation procedures. This work describes and explains the use of instruments and, in a step-by-step fashion, utilizes very understandable photos of models to illustrate maneuvers for both early and later gestations. Originally composed for the residents she was teaching, this is an excellent guide for physicians who wish to improve or expand their abortion techniques.
