Ronan O Connell's clinical activities were fundamentally based on accurate data. His scientific outputs were based on similarly high quality data. Anybody who trained with him and in particular those who trained with him on more than occasion base their clinical and scientific activities on a similar approach. His many clinical, scientific and political achievements and accolades will be detailed in the articles in this Festschrift. There is an advancement that is important to me personally and that I would like to attribute to his influence. Exceptional and highly reproducible technique underpinned his surgery and explained the outcomes his patients experienced. Recent clarification of the anatomical basis of these techniques (the mesenteric basis) provides a unifying platform across which to reconcile human abdominal anatomy and surgery.
罗南·奥康奈尔的临床活动从根本上基于准确的数据。他的科研成果也同样基于高质量的数据。任何与他一起接受培训的人，尤其是那些多次与他一起接受培训的人，都将他们的临床和科研活动建立在类似的方法之上。他众多的临床、科研和政治成就及荣誉将在这本纪念文集的文章中详细阐述。有一项进展对我个人而言很重要，我想将其归功于他的影响。卓越且高度可重复的技术支撑着他的手术，并解释了他的患者所经历的治疗结果。最近对这些技术的解剖学基础（肠系膜基础）的阐明提供了一个统一的平台，借此可以协调人体腹部解剖学与外科手术。
