Next year, Bonney’s Gynaecological Surgery celebrates its 100th birthday, the first edition having been published in 1911 by Comyns Berkeley and Victor Bonney. In those 100 years, major advances in anaesthetics, transfusion services, antibiotics and instrument development have not only resulted in safer surgery for the patient but also have allowed increasing innovation in surgical procedures.
In gynaecology this is exemplified by the almost routine use of minimal access techniques in everyday practice, as well as the increasing surgical options inthe urological and oncological subspecialties.
Despite these advances, many of the basic surgical principles remain unchanged, and this is highlighted by the retention in this edition of some of Bonney’s original drawings 100 years on.
Three of the current editors have worked in the department of gynaecological oncology in Gateshead started by Stanley Way in 1948. It is therefore not surprising that this 11th edition reflects an evolution rather than a revolution from the 9th edition edited by John Monaghan in 1986, the preface of which follows this current preface.
As with previous editors, Tito Lopes have taken the liberty of removing elements from the last edition which are no longer relevant to current practice. The format has also changed and the current edition is divided into three sections. The first section, covering general principles and basic techniques, lays the foundation for any trainee wishing to develop into a competent gynaecological surgeon. The second section, presented by anatomical site, covers the common procedures undertaken in day - to - day benign gynaecology. The last section recognizes the two surgical subspecialties of urogynaecology and gynaecological oncology. Although several of the procedures described are currently undertaken by the experienced generalist as well as the specialist, this is becoming less common, especially in cancer surgery. This section also covers surgery for other sites that may arise during gynaecological surgery, either as a planned procedure or as the result of an unexpected finding or complication. Although rarely encountered in general gynaecology, and usually within the remit of one’s surgical colleagues, it is important to understand the principles of the procedures involved.
