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 gyn-
aecologists, and now has a wide international audience. There is great responsibility in revising this landmark
20th edition, to ensure its accessibility and relevance are maintained into the next century.
The 20th edition has been almost entirely rewritten to reflect both changing undergraduate medical cur-
ricula and changing diagnostic and management protocols in gynaecology. The ‘Ten Teachers’ are all inter-
nationally renowned experts in their fields and all 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 consis-
tently 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 20th edition, published almost 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 examina-
tions, 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 practice 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 health care professionals will find it useful
in their work.
It has been a privilege and an honour to be the editors of this textbook as it approaches this important
milestone; 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 repro-
ductive ages.
