The art and philosophy of surgery are not as often discussed as scientific discoveries and technological advances in the modern era of surgery. Although these are difficult to teach and pass on to the next generations of surgeons they are no less important for training good surgeons and maintaining their high standards. The authors of this review and opinion article tried to define what being a good surgeon really means and to look into the subject by analysing the essential conditions for being a good surgeon and the qualities that such a specialist should possess. In addition to a strong theoretic knowledge and practical skills and among the several described professional and personal characteristics, a good surgeon is expected to have common sense. It enables a surgeon to make a sound practical judgment independent of specialized medical knowledge and training. The possible ways of developing and/or enhancing common sense during surgical training and subsequent practice require separate analysis.
在现代外科时代，外科手术的艺术与理念不像科学发现和技术进步那样经常被讨论。尽管这些难以传授给下一代外科医生，但对于培养优秀外科医生并维持其高标准而言，它们同样重要。这篇综述与观点文章的作者试图界定一名优秀外科医生真正意味着什么，并通过分析成为一名优秀外科医生的必要条件以及这类专家应具备的品质来探究这一主题。除了扎实的理论知识和实践技能外，在所述的若干专业和个人特质中，一名优秀的外科医生还应具备常识。常识能使外科医生在不依赖专业医学知识和培训的情况下做出合理的实际判断。在外科培训及后续实践中培养和/或增强常识的可能方式需要单独分析。
