Summary

This subject text, Operative Gynaecology, Volume I, is a surgical textbook on diseases and operations involving the female reproductive system, written by Howard A. Kelly and illustrated in part by Max Brödel.
The book is a technical, richly illustrated manual for gynaecological surgery rather than a general medicine text. Its subject is operative treatment, anatomy, instruments, procedures, and surgical technique in women’s diseases, reflecting the early 20th-century development of gynaecology as a specialised surgical field.
