Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minor Surgical Gynecology: A Treatise of Uterine Diagnosis and the Lesser Technicalities of Gynecological Practices, Including General Rules for Gynecological Operations and the Operations for Lacerated Cervix and Perineum, and Prolapsus of Uterus and Vagina; For the Use of the Adv "Success in the treatment of the diseases of women lies wholly in attention to minute details." - (Emmet.) Every recent text-book on the Diseases of Women contains a brief reference to the minor technicalities and manipulations commonly employed in the diagnosis and treatment of these affections. But the scope of a work which covers the whole vast field of gynecological science, does not permit the detailed discussion of many practical points which the student and practitioner should know, and is obliged to learn with many annoyances in the course of his practice. Nowhere, except perhaps scattered through periodical literature, can many of these topics be found, and nowhere can the experience, so dearly acquired after many attempts and failures, be more rapidly obtained except by a visit to one of the large medical centres in which practical gynecology is taught. Of course, no book can supply the knowledge gained at the bedside or operating-table; and no description, however minute, can enable the examining finger to distinguish between a retroverted uterus and a retro-uterine fibroid or pelvic cellulitis. But many an error maybe avoided, and many a manipulation rendered easy for physician and patient, if the sources of possible error and the details of the manipulation be clearly laid before the operator. With this object this book has been prepared. Its necessity may not be apparent to the gynecological expert who, by years of practice, has familiarized himself with all the details of his specialty, nor to the interne of the Womans Hospital, whose daily duty teaches him the Aery applications which are here described. For neither of these, be it distinctly understood, is the book intended. But I have been led grossly into error by the expressions of many general practitioners, and my experience as an instructor in practical gynecology is utterly at fault, if the student and young practitioner do not find in it many hints which will prove valuable to them in every-day life.
