Abstract

This article is dedicated to the 195th anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of Russian obstetrics and gynecology, the founder of the first obstetrician and gynecological school in Russia, Professor Anton Yakovlevich Krassovskiy. His contribution to the development of surgical obstetrics and to the improvement of gynecological operations, as well as to the introduction of aseptic methods into practice, is especially appreciated. Particular attention is paid to the period when A.Ya. Krassovskiy headed the Nadezhdinsky maternity hospital (1871-1898). The national school of obstetricians and gynecologists formed under his leadership laid the foundation of scientific and practical obstetrics in Russia.
