A number of historical texts published during the first half of the twentieth century played a pivotal role in shaping and defining modern plastic surgery in the United States.
Blair's Surgery and Diseases of the Mouth and Jaws (1912), John Staige Davis's Plastic Surgery: Its Principles and Practice (1919), Gillies's Plastic Surgery of the Face (1920), Fomon's Surgery of Injury and Plastic Repair (1939), Ivy's Manual of Standard Practice of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Military Surgery Manuals (1943), Padgett and Stephenson's Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (1948), and Kazanjian and Converse's The Surgical Treatment of Facial Injuries (1949) were reviewed.
These texts were published at a time when plastic surgery was developing as a distinct specialty. Each work represents a different point in this evolution. All were not inclusive of all of plastic surgery, but all had a lasting impact. Four texts were based on clinical experience from World War I; one included experience from World War II; and two included experience from both.
One text became a military surgical handbook in World Wars I and II, playing an important role in care for the wounded. History has demonstrated that times of war spark medical/surgical advancements, and these wars had a dramatic impact on the development of reconstructive plastic surgery. Each of these texts documented surgical advancements and provided an intellectual platform that helped shape and create the independent discipline of plastic surgery during peacetime. For many future leaders of plastic surgery, these books served as their introduction to this new field.
二十世纪上半叶出版的一些历史文献在美国现代整形外科学的形成和定义中发挥了关键作用。
回顾了 Blair 的《口腔与颌骨手术》（1912 年）、John Staige Davis 的《整形外科学：原理与实践》（1919 年）、Gillies 的《面部整形外科学》（1920 年）、Fomon 的《创伤与整形修复外科学》（1939 年）、Ivy 的《标准实用整形与颌面外科学手册》、《军事外科学手册》（1943 年）、Padgett 和 Stephenson 的《整形与重建外科学》（1948 年）以及 Kazanjian 和 Converse 的《面部损伤的外科治疗》（1949 年）。
这些文献发表于整形外科学作为一个独特专业发展的时期。每一部作品都代表了这一演变过程中的一个不同阶段。它们并非涵盖了整形外科学的所有内容，但都产生了持久的影响。其中四本著作基于第一次世界大战的临床经验；一本包括第二次世界大战的经验；还有两本包括两者的经验。
其中一部文献成为了第一次和第二次世界大战的军事外科学手册，在伤员救治中发挥了重要作用。历史表明，战争时期会引发医学/外科学的进步，这些战争对重建性整形外科学的发展产生了巨大影响。这些文献中的每一部都记录了外科技术的进步，并提供了一个智力平台，帮助塑造和创建了和平时期独立的整形外科学领域。对于许多未来的整形外科学领导者来说，这些书籍是他们进入这一新领域的入门书。
