For a long time I have felt that the present gynaecological
training for registrars lacked familiarisation and understanding of
the basic principles of surgery. This is due to several factors.
Firstly, the historical separation of gynaecology from general
surgery which led to our development as an independent speciality
(and which Victor Bonney foretold to our detriment when he opposed
the formation of the College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists as
a separate body from the College of Surgeons). Secondly, a vast
improvement in medical management of many gynaecological conditions
has made surgical practice dull and an unquestioning daily routine
with little or no surgical instruction for many junior staff.
Thirdly, the arrival of subspecialisation has exacerbated this, as
complicated surgery may be referred out by the general
gynaecologist. Finally, the trend in further education towards
writing an MD rather than taking an FRCS degree. The arguments for
and against were set out in an editorial in the British Journal of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology (1983), later taken to task in the
ensuing correspondence. That editorial. together with the
difficulty in finding up-to-date articles on surgical principles in
one volume, were the catalysts for this book. With the help of
colleagues from other disciplines, I have attempted to present
recent advances side-by-side with modern-day gynaecological
practice.
