William Hunter (1718-1783) was a Scottish anatomist and physician. He started his career as a man midwife and went on to become the leading obstetrician in London. He prepared anatomically dissected specimens depicting anatomy of gravid uterus and undelivered fetus with placenta in different stages of gestation. Hunter compiled illustrations prepared from these specimens with his clinical notes and published his treatise in 1774. This article is a tribute to William Hunter as we approach the 250th year of publication of his work which is a significant milestone in the history of obstetrics and its practice.
威廉·亨特(1718 - 1783)是一位苏格兰解剖学家和医生。他起初是一名男性助产士,后来成为伦敦顶尖的产科医生。他准备了解剖后的标本,展示了妊娠子宫以及不同妊娠阶段带有胎盘的未分娩胎儿的解剖结构。亨特将根据这些标本绘制的插图与他的临床笔记汇编在一起,并于1774年发表了他的论文。在他的著作出版250周年之际,本文是对威廉·亨特的致敬,他的著作是产科及其实践史上的一个重要里程碑。
