La medicina fetal es una práctica clínica bien diferenciada, y sin embargo todavía es difícil disponer de obras que la traten como tal en su conjunto.

A pesar de los textos de gran calidad sobre diversas disciplinas relacionadas con la medicina fetal, pocos agrupan y sintetizan conocimientos de diferentes áreas para que puedan ser utilizados de forma unificada y orientada a la práctica clínica. La obra Medicina fetal 2ª ed. refleja cómo debe ser la práctica clínica de excelencia y cómo se debe explicar. Esta obra actualiza los contenidos de la 1ª edición, basándose en la evidencia científica más reciente.
