About this book
One of the longest-running Ten Teachers series. Each edition is written by a changing panel of ten UK consultants and academics, with a single senior editor. Edited in its mid-twentieth-century editions by Stanley G. Clayton.
The Ten Teachers format — rotating panels of practising consultants writing under one senior editor — became the ward-side backbone of UK undergraduate teaching in obstetrics and gynaecology for more than half a century. The gynaecology volume covers the working ground of the medical-student attachment: anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive tract, the menstrual disorders, contraception and infertility, pelvic infection, benign and malignant gynaecological neoplasia, urogynaecology and the operative procedures students are expected to recognise and assist.
Stanley George Clayton edited the mid-century editions during his consultant years at King's, Queen Charlotte's and the Chelsea Hospital for Women, and later from his chair at King's College Hospital Medical School. He was President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists from 1972 to 1975 and editor of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology through the 1960s and early 1970s.
