We performed a historical review of events concerning retromuscular hernia repairs over the last two centuries. This may shed light on surgical innovators and their novel techniques that have evolved into current practices.
Literature reviews of notable surgeons in the subspecialty were reviewed. Historical context was obtained by personal communication with contemporary surgeons who witnessed changes in established techniques firsthand.
Even though retromuscular repairs are the central theme of this exercise, it is important to note several adjacent events which steered surgical progress. The status of hernia surgery today is the result of the work of several pioneers separated by time and distance.
It may be important to understand the circumstances that have propelled past surgical breakthroughs to stimulate future progress.
我们对过去两个世纪中有关肌后疝修补术的事件进行了历史回顾。这可能有助于揭示外科创新者及其新的技术,这些技术已经演变成当前的实践。
对该专业领域的著名外科医生的文献进行了回顾。通过与亲眼目睹既定技术发生变化的当代外科医生进行个人交流,获得了历史背景。
尽管肌后修补术是本次研究的核心主题,但值得注意的是,有几个相邻事件推动了外科手术的进展。今天的疝外科手术现状是几位先驱者的工作成果,他们之间存在时间和空间的分隔。
了解推动过去外科突破的情况对于激发未来的进步可能很重要。
