Preface
Gynaecology by Ten Teachers was first published in 1919 as Diseases of Women and is one of the oldest, most respected and accessible texts on the subject. Gynaecology by Ten Teachers has informed generations of gynaecologists and now has a wide international audience. There is great responsibility in revising this, the 21st Edition to ensure its accessibility and relevance are maintained into the next century. The 21st Edition has been written to reflect both changing undergraduate medical curricula and changing diagnostic and management protocols in gynaecology. The ‘Ten Teachers’ are all internationally renowned experts in their fields who are actively involved in the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the UK. This volume has been edited carefully to ensure consistency of structure, style and level of detail, in common with those of its sister text Obstetrics by Ten Teachers.
The books can therefore be used together or independently as required. New self-assessment sections are presented consistently throughout, with detailed clinical scenarios for each subject in a structure similar to those used in most medical schools. The global status of women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive health and rights is disturbing. Millions of women have no access to contraception, undergo female genital mutilation and receive no gynaecological care. It is fitting, therefore, that the 21st Edition, published more than 100 years after the first, maintains a global aspect throughout. The aim of the text now, as it was a century ago, is to prepare students for their undergraduate examinations and to continue to be useful afterwards in postgraduate studies and clinical practice.
It is a text that the editors used as students, which inspired us to practise and teach in the specialty and which we still enjoy reading because it is concise yet comprehensive. We hope that, in addition to supporting medical students throughout their studies, general practitioners, trainees and allied healthcare professionals will find it useful in their work. It has been a privilege and an honour to be the editors of this textbook. We echo a century of previous editors in hoping that this book will enthuse a new generation of doctors to become gynaecologists and work to improve the health and the safety of women through all reproductive ages.
