The method of abdominal hernia repair known as components separation, described by Ramirez et al. in 1990, has enjoyed widespread popularity because of the sound anatomical principles it uses and most importantly the clinical success of the procedure. Although the authors who described this technique made no proprietary claims and did not discuss the history of abdominal hernia repair, they have certainly been credited with the development of this procedure. With this article, the author hopes to place components separation in historical perspective, and give credit to Donald Herron Young, who published the concept of external oblique relaxing incisions for repair of epigastric hernias in 1961. Born in Canada, Young studied and worked as a surgeon in England for most of his life. A biographical sketch is included.
拉米雷斯等人在 1990 年描述的腹疝修补方法——“组织分离法”，由于其使用的合理解剖学原理，以及该手术的显著临床疗效，而得到广泛普及。尽管描述这一技术的作者没有提出任何专有权声明，也没有讨论腹疝修补的历史，但他们无疑为这一手术的发展做出了贡献。作者希望通过这篇文章，从历史的角度看待“组织分离法”，并将这一概念归功于唐纳德·赫伦·杨（Donald Herron Young），他在 1961 年发表了关于用于修复上腹部疝的腹外斜肌松解切口的概念。杨出生于加拿大，其一生的大部分时间都在英国学习和从事外科工作。文中附有一份传记概要。
