Book Description

Excerpt from Gynecology and Abdominal Surgery, Vol. 1 IN the preparation of this Work the editors have been continually impressed With the intimate relationship which exists between gynecology and abdominal surgery. Our associates, competitors, and generous critics, the general surgeons, will not deny that the great advances made in the gynecologic field have consti tuted the very backbone and the marrow of the abdominal surgery of today, and that pari passu with the labors of the gynecologists have gone the developments of the surgery of the abdomen at large. These volumes embracing both subjects are living witnesses of the unity of gynecology and abdominal surgery in the practical field, which it is our pleasure to proclaim, as we thus once more assert the unity of our art and the fraternity of those who practise it. In planning our work the usual classification of the hand-books has been set aside, in order to substitute one of greater practical value to the general practitioner, to the investigator, and to the surgeon. A considerable section is devoted to medical gynecology, to meet the needs of the general practitioner, who will find the information he requires concentrated in one section, Without being under the necessity of searching here and there through out both volumes. Certain obstetric or gynecologic-obstetric subjects have been included in our list, such as the puerperal injuries and infections, the treatment of incomplete abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and the Cesarean operations. It is believed that this will prove not only of practical value to the physician, but will give the general surgeon practising abdominal surgery without an Obstetric training a broader and fuller View of the subject.
