Practice Bulletins provide obstetricians and gynecologists with current information on established techniques and
clinical management guidelines. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the College) continuously
surveys the field for advances to be incorporated in these series and monitors existing bulletins to ensure they are cur
rent. Individual bulletins are withdrawn from and added to the series on a continuing basis and reaffirmed periodically.
