In this introductory paper, we describe the primary source material studied in this Symposium, namely a set of 21 notebooks and 571 pages of loose sheets and scraps of paper, which, on cross-referencing, have allowed us to reconstruct the sequence, timing and numbers of the laparoscopic cycles planned, attempted and undertaken between 9 January 1969 and 1 August 1978 by Robert Edwards, Patrick Steptoe and Jean Purdy in Oldham, UK, as well as to identify most of the patients involved. In addition, we describe the background to the five papers that follow, and the secondary sources and recorded interviews, which have provided useful ancillary material.
在这篇引言性论文中,我们描述了本次研讨会所研究的主要原始资料,即一套21本笔记以及571页活页和纸片,通过相互参照,这些资料使我们能够重建1969年1月9日至1978年8月1日期间,罗伯特·爱德华兹、帕特里克·斯特普托和琼·珀迪在英国奥尔德姆计划、尝试和实施的腹腔镜手术周期的顺序、时间安排和数量,同时还能确定大部分相关患者。此外,我们还描述了后续五篇论文的背景,以及提供了有用辅助材料的二手资料和记录访谈。
