Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medical Gynecology: A Treatise on the Diseases of Women From the Standpoint of the Physician The growth of gynecology in recent times has been phenomenal, especially in the direction of surgery. That in this respect its progress should have been remarkable is not surprising, in view of the great advances made in general surgical knowledge during that period. It appears in medical literature that surgery has been more assiduously cultivated than medicine. This may have induced some to push the surgical treatment of diseases of women to extremes, and in some degree to neglect medicine. On the other hand, physicians, who have been overconfident in their art, may have failed occasionally to do surgery full justice. This is evidently responsible for the frequent and often illogical discussions which have been going on in the past few years regarding so-called radical and conservative practice in gynecology. The science and art of medicine and surgery in their highest development should be above all party questions, and those who place a just estimate on both branches of the healing art, and employ them without predilection and prejudice, are the most successful and reliable. Unreasonable devotion to either medicine or surgery is wrong. A consciousness on the part of the author of this status of gynecology is responsible for the inception and genesis of this work. How far he may be right in thinking that there is room for a new work on the medical branch of gynecology, and to what extent the requirements have been met in this volume, the members of the medical profession alone can decide.
