Abstract

This article sheds light on the personal and professional paths of Professor Viktor Baskakov, who was an outstanding obstetrician-gynecologist, an endometriosis specialist, and the author of the first fundamental scientific works on endometriosis in Russia. The paper explores the milestones of the professor’s scientific career and discusses the peculiarities of clinical work and surgical techniques in the treatment of deep infiltrative endometriosis, in particular. In addition, new methods of management of the early postoperative period, as well as prevention and rehabilitation of gynecological patients are described. Viktor Baskakov was a talented teacher and mentor, a skilled surgeon, a competent scientific and clinical supervisor who had an innovative and bold view of the problems of treatment and diagnosis of endometriosis, which at that time were especially relevant and under-investigated. Special attention is paid to the many memories of colleagues and grateful patients of Professor Viktor Baskakov.
