Surgery as a speciality has reached an advanced refinement today both in terms of teaching and technique. With knowledge gained from years of research, teaching is now evidence-based. With the illuminating, pioneering work of a few great former surgeons, the technique of even complex surgical procedures has been well elucidated now. John Benjamin Murphy is one such surgeon to whom the speciality of surgery would remain perpetually indebted. His landmark achievements not only in gastroenterology but also in urology, orthopaedics, oncoplastic and vascular surgery would leave even a hard-core critic marvelling at his genius. Above all, Murphy was a dedicated teacher who spent 4 days a week demonstrating procedures and lecturing interested surgeons. Herein lies the greatness of the man and a tribute highlighting his achievements are in order.
如今，外科学作为一门专业学科，在教学和技术方面都达到了高度的精细化。凭借多年研究积累的知识，现在的教学以证据为基础。在前几位伟大外科医生富有启发性的开创性工作的引领下，即使是复杂外科手术的技术现在也已得到了很好的阐释。约翰·本杰明·墨菲就是这样一位外科医生，外科学专业将永远感激他。他不仅在胃肠病学领域，而且在泌尿外科、骨科、肿瘤整形和血管外科方面取得的具有里程碑意义的成就，会让哪怕是最苛刻的批评家也对他的天赋惊叹不已。最重要的是，墨菲是一位敬业的教师，他每周有四天的时间进行手术演示，并为感兴趣的外科医生授课。这正是此人的伟大之处，对他的成就进行颂扬是恰当的。
