Excerpt from Atlas and Epitome of Operative Gynecology: Authorized Translation From the German With Editorial Notes and Aditions In all medical schools students who graduate each year know less about gynecologic operations than about almost any other department of operative surgery. Amphitheater demonstrations are valuable only to the few who are fortunate enough to be placed very near the field of operation. In several European schools courses are given to limited numbers in which certain operative procedures are practised on genitalia removed from bodies and fastened into manikins. The value of the method is very restricted, even for the few students who have the opportunity of employing it. In a large medical school, owing to the difficulty of obtaining material, it cannot benefit the great body of students. For many years teachers have been forced to depend largely upon pictorial representation in demonstrating gynecologic operations. The author, a well-known German teacher, has made a specialty of demonstrating by illustrations, and issues this volume as an aid to those who wish to study the surgical part of gynecology. The work represents mainly the experience and practice of Dr. Schaffer, and is not to be regarded as a comprehensive text-book. The editor holds himself in no way responsible for the general plan or for the details. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
