Gynecology and Obstetrics - Proceedings of the XIth World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics

Six thousand active participants were assembled in Berlin during the XIth World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Their contribu tions covered the entire field of our discipline: matemo-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology and surgery, reproductive medicine, and endocri nology. Emphasis was laid on the diseases of the female breast and these papers appear in a separate section of the book (B VII -X). The scientific program included 370 invited speakers for special lec tures, various main theme sessions, around 100 seminars, and 45 film and video presentations. A total of 1566 free communications had al ready been published in abstract form before the Congress convened (Archives of Gynecology, Vol. 237, pp. 1-405, 1985). The present volume contains 291 papers, representing special lectures, all main theme ses sions, and seminars, from the contributions of speakers invited by the Scientific Program Committee and the key-chairmen of the XIth World Congress. Unfortunately, 78 speakers did not send their manuscripts by the deadline despite two extensions, so that we had to be content with around 80% of the contributions presented during the Congress.
