Prof. M. S. Malinovsky and Prof. M. G. Kushnir. Manual on operative obstetrics. Gosmedizdat. 1931, p. 480, c. 5 p.

After the publication of the last edition of "Operational obstetrics" prof. Many years have passed by Fenomenov, and thus a major defect has arisen in the supply of a practicing obstetrician with a guide to operative obstetrics, which would more or less satisfy the needs of obstetric medical practice. This defect is now becoming even more noticeable for two reasons: 1) the almost complete absence of solid manuals on obstetrics in general, which, for example, should be fully considered "Obstetrics" by prof. V.S.Gruzdev and 2) a significant progressive increase in the number of doctors who have to pay great or exclusive attention to this type of medical care (doctors of special obstetric departments, consultations, medical specialists in large hospitals in factories, factories, state farms, collective farms, district doctors). The lack of manuals and textbooks on obstetrics is especially acute in medical universities, where the mastery of the discipline by students often occurs only "from the words" of the teacher and where, therefore, the activation of teaching methods is reduced to replacing lectures with group tutoring conversations. This is why the release of the peer-reviewed Guideline. However, we think that the work that has appeared should be welcomed also because in itself it is of great value and not only for the student, - the future district doctor, as the authors thought when compiling the Guide, but also for a practical doctor. in his day-to-day obstetric work, and for the postgraduate obstetrician at the Postgraduate Postgraduate Institutes, and for the teacher.
