The importance of surgical history for surgeons and students of this field of knowledge is undeniable. Knowing surgical history makes us aware of findings and discoveries we never knew before. Surgical history helps us in defining how surgery evolved through the centuries and mostly how those observations have shaped surgical thought. In this writing, I introduce my own observations of the field and explain how I grew to learn and appreciate the evolution of surgical history through my own personal experience. And, as important, at least for me, I narrate my observations as to how my education and contributions to the discipline shaped my knowledge of surgical history.
手术史对外科医生以及该知识领域的学生而言，其重要性是毋庸置疑的。了解手术史能让我们知晓那些我们从前从未知晓的发现。手术史有助于我们明确手术在几个世纪中是如何演变的，尤其是这些观察结果如何塑造了外科思维。在本文中，我将介绍我对该领域的个人观察，并解释我是如何通过自身经历逐渐学习并欣赏手术史的演变的。并且，至少对我来说同样重要的是，我将叙述我对于自己的教育以及对该学科的贡献如何塑造我手术史知识的观察。
