The students of gynecology—past and present
Dutta's Textbook of Gynecology has stepped in its ninth edition through its journey over the last 35 years. Concurrent to the progress of science, technology and imaging, Dutta's Gynecology has been accepted as the classic textbook both nationally and internationally. The ninth edition has come out with incorporation of all the advances in the subspecialty of reproductive endocrinology, infertility, urogynecology, oncology, endoscopy, and general gynecology. Consistency and uniformity with updated information in all the chapters are the special features of this book. The doubling time of medical knowledge was estimated to 50 years in 1950, 7 years in 1980, and 3.5 years in 2010. In 2020, it is projected to be 0.2 years (73 days). We strive sincerely to keep it updated with interim revisions.
Dutta's Gynecology stands out for its comprehensive and user-friendly approach, with its easy-to-read format. We have incorporated video content to provide the readers with more visual experience. The presentation of this book with its quality of graphics, design, profuse illustrations (451), high quality photographs (371) and imaging studies (55) are the special attraction. Numerous tables, boxes, flowcharts, and algorithms are there, for ease of study and reproducibility. The key points are at the end of each chapter to provide an outline synopsis of the entire chapter. This is of value for quick and easy revision. The state-of-the-art in the book lies in the presentation which is simple, lucid, clear and concise. Above all, it provides a balanced distillation of evidence-based information upon which a student, trainee resident, a practitioner and a nurse can fully depend.
All the chapters have been exhaustively revised, updated and many of these thoroughly rewritten. Practical gynecology (Chapter 38), contains a total of 112 high quality photographs and plates of imaging studies. Few hundreds of viva questions along with answers and explanations are presented to enable the students to face the clinical and viva-voce part of examination. The total information given in Chapter 38 amounts to a “mini-textbook-cum color atlas” of gynecology.
Considering the vast amount of scientific information and the research, it is practically impossible to limit the subject matter within the few pages of the book. Arrangements have been made through electronic media for the readers who wish to know more. Information regarding the examination situation (theory, viva-voce, multiple choice questions and answers, operation video clips) have been provided through the electronic resources (www.dcdutta.com/www.hiralalkonar.com). Regarding the online content and video section, interested readers keen to know more could reach out at: drroshnip24@gmail.com.
My aim in this book has always been to help the students, residents and clinicians to remain updated with the knowledge that has passed the test of clinical relevance. I do hope this comprehensive textbook will continue to be an immense educational source to readers as ever. The readers will enjoy this edition and learn as much as they can in this ever-evolving field, in order to provide a quality care to women.
According to the author's desire, the book is dedicated “to the students of gynecology: past and present”.

Preface to the First Edition
Since my publication of Textbook of Obstetrics about 5 years back, I have been pressed hard by my esteemed colleagues and the students all over the country and abroad to write a Textbook on Gynecology of similar style to fill up the deficit. Initially, I was hesitant to proceed with the stupendous task but considering the fact that a compact, comprehensive and practical-oriented fundamental book in gynecology is not available to the undergraduates, I have decided to comply with their request.
The book has been written in a lucid language in author's own style. Extensive diagrams, photographs, and flowcharts (schemes) have been depicted throughout the text to give clarity of the subject. Due attention has been paid to project the fundamental principles and practice of gynecology. As such, more emphasis has been given on medical gynecology. But for that, indications, limitations, and principles of techniques of operations have received adequate consideration. The book is thus made invaluable not only to the medical students but also the practising physicians and students of nursing.
The author wishes to acknowledge gratitude to his esteemed colleague Dr N Chowdhury, MBBS, DGO, MO (Cal), for his contribution to the topic “Hormone Therapy in Gynecological practice”. Dr Santosh Kr Paul, MBBS, DGO, MO(Cal), Prof, Dept of Obst and Gyne, NRS Medical College, Calcutta, deserves full appreciation for his contribution in a lucid way to the topic “Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in Gynecology”. The author has much pleasure in expressing grateful thanks to Dr BN Chakravorty, MBBS, DGO, MO (Cal), FRCOG (Eng), and Dr KM Gun, MBBS, DGO, MO (Cal), FRCOG (Eng), FRCS (Edin), FACS (USA), for their valued suggestions as and when required and their contribution of photographs to enrich the text. I gratefully record my thanks to Dr Subir Kumar Dutta, MBBS, DCP, MD (Path & Bact), Prof, Dept of Pathology and Bacteriology, University College of Medicine, Calcutta, for the microphotographs depicted throughout the text. The author records his thanks to Dr SM Dali Prof, Obst and Gyne; Dr Bhola Rijal, Associate Prof, Obst and Gyne of Teaching Hospital, and Dr (Mrs) Dibya S Malia, Director, Maternity Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal, for their contribution of few outstanding photographs to enrich the text.
The author expresses much pleasure all the time to the House Surgeons, Internees and students of Nilratan Sircar Medical College, Calcutta, for the help they have rendered in preparation of the final drafts of the manuscripts, check up of the proofs and compiling the index. Their help is invaluable and unforgettable and without which the book could never have been published.
The author wishes to thank Mr Biren Das for his exhaustive number of drawings and flowcharts which enrich the lucidity of the book. The author also thanks Mr Ranjit Sen for preparation of photographs (black and white) depicted throughout the text. The author has much pleasure in expressing his appreciation to Mr Bimal Bhattacharya, MSc, LLB (Cal), DSW, DHE, Lecturer, Health Education and Family Welfare, Postpartum Unit, NRS Medical College, Calcutta for the patience shown in dealing with correction of manuscripts and proofs.
In preparing the textbook, the author has utilized the knowledge of number of stalwarts in his profession and consulted many books and publications. The author wishes to express his appreciation and gratitude to all of them including the related authors and publishers.
The author still confesses that as a teacher, he has learnt a lot from the students and more so while writing this book and as such he could not think to dedicate the book to anyone else than the students of gynecology—past and present.

A textbook of this standard could never be completed without the help and advice of many. The author thanks many distinguished persons for their support in updating the book. I have consulted many outstanding teachers in the profession, multitude of eminent authors and many current evidence-based studies. The legacy is gratefully acknowledged. I express my sincere thanks to many of my esteemed colleagues throughout the country and abroad for their valued suggestions and criticisms. I sincerely acknowledge the support of all the students (undergraduates and postgraduates) of different medical institutions in the country for their opinions and criticisms that have helped to enrich this book. As before, I welcome the views of students and teachers who regularly write to me, offering their suggestions and ideas on email: h.kondr@gmail.com.
I sincerely acknowledge the following teachers across the country and abroad for their valuable feedback for Dutta's books. Their comments and suggestions have helped to shape this new edition. I hope I have listed all those who have contributed and apologize if any name has been accidentally omitted.
