The first century of modern surgery was dominated by strong personalities each of which have formed a leading surgical school and a great hospital. This was beneficial for the young science as long as all areas of the developing surgery could be mastered by one single man. A consequence of great and ever faster progress in all sciences and particularly in medicine is a more and more narrower specialization. This trend has made it impossible for an individual to be on the forefront of developments in the major surgical disciplines. Thus, to fulfill important tasks and especially for further progress it is mandatory to use the diverse skills of different individuals as a team.
现代外科学的第一个世纪由极具个性的人物主导，他们各自创立了一所领先的外科流派和一家大型医院。只要发展中的外科学的各个领域能被一个人掌握，这对这门年轻的学科是有益的。所有科学，尤其是医学领域取得了巨大且日益快速的进步，其结果是专业化程度越来越高。这种趋势使得个人不可能在主要外科学科的发展前沿立足。因此，为了完成重要任务，尤其是为了取得进一步的进展，必须将不同个体的多样技能作为一个团队来运用。
