Dunedin is a small city located in the southeastern part of the South Island of New Zealand, an enclave found in the Southern Hemisphere halfway around the World. How possibly would anyone consider such a remote place to be the birthplace of modern plastic surgery? Yet here was born both Sir Harold Delf Gillies, the "father of modern plastic surgery." and his first cousin once removed, Sir Archibold Hector McIndoe. Author Rainsford Mowlem, born in Auckland, was a contemporary of McIndoe at the University of Otago Medical School in Dunedin, from which they both graduated. Along with Kilner, Gillies, McIndoe, and Mowlem were known during the intervening years after the first World War as the "Big Four" full-time plastic surgeons in England. Henry Percy Pickerill was not born in New Zealand, but was the first dean and Director of the University of Otago Dental School when it opened. At Queen's Hospital in Sidcup he headed the New Zealand section, where he too was under the guidance of Gillies. After that war he returned to Dunedin, where for better or worse influenced there the future development of plastic surgery. Thus, the birthplace of the lives or careers of those 4 pioneers of plastic surgery-Gillies, Pickerill, McIndoe, Mowlem-was Dunedin. Perhaps were it not for the fate of the Great World Wars it may have never been, but it was.
达尼丁是位于新西兰南岛东南部的一个小城市，是南半球世界上的一个飞地。怎么可能有人会认为这样一个偏远的地方是现代整形手术的发源地呢？然而，就在这里诞生了两位整形外科之父，哈罗德·戴尔夫·吉利斯爵士和他的远房表亲阿奇博尔德·赫克托·麦因多爵士。出生于奥克兰的拉因斯福德·莫勒姆是麦因多在达尼丁奥塔哥大学医学院的同学，他们都毕业于这所学校。在第一次世界大战后的几年里，与基勒、吉利斯、麦因多和莫勒姆一起被称为英国“四大”全职整形外科医生。亨利·珀西·皮克里尔虽然不是在新西兰出生，但在奥塔哥大学牙科学院成立时，他是该学院的第一任院长和主任。在锡德卡普的皇后医院，他领导新西兰分部，在那里他也在吉利斯的指导下工作。那场战争之后，他回到了达尼丁，在那里，他或多或少地影响了那里整形手术的未来发展。因此，这四位整形外科先驱——吉利斯、皮克里尔、麦因多和莫勒姆——的生活或职业生涯的发源地是达尼丁。也许，如果不是世界大战的命运，这一切都不会发生，但事实就是如此。
