Bonney’s Gynaecological Surgery

Аннотация

The infl uence of Victor Bonney and his pupils upon gynaecological surgery has developed from the publication of the fi rst edition of A Textbook of Gynaecological Surgery in 1911. The fi rst to the fourth editions were the results of the collaboration of Bonney with Sir Comynus Berkeley. Following the death of the latter, Victor Bonney produced the fi fth and sixth editions alone. Bonney ’ s pupils Howkins and Macleod then produced the seventh edition. The death of Macleod signalled virtually the end of those practising surgeons who had been trained by Victor Bonney. The very successful eighth edition was prepared by John Howkins and Sir John Stallworthy. These two great fi gures of Commonwealth Gynaecology had worked together as junior colleagues during the last years of Bonney ’ s clinical career.
