Veterinary surgery as a precursor of veterinary medicine must have had its origins as early as the prehistory of the Mesolithic. A nascent emotional life resulted in the differentiation of pastoral cultures from the hunters of former times. Curing and healing, also of animals, has become a science today, which is practised professionally and is based on professional knowledge. The marked development of veterinary medicine as a multidisciplinary science involves the risk of the patient's entity being reduced to mere physical problems. Bernard E. Rollin writes about his concern at this reduction in a paper which appeared in J. Am. Vet. Med. Assoc., Vol. 182, No. 2. He arrives at far-reaching conclusions, at any rate where the U.S.A. is concerned. Although the risks of some degree of reduction and a mechanistic approach are not entirely imaginary in the Netherlands, his conclusions cannot be completely accepted by the present author. The paper by fellow veterinarian F. J. van Sluys (in: Tijdschr. Diergeneeskd. 1983; 108: 520-5) presents a view of systems of patient administration on various lines. However, any endeavour to attain efficient brevity in this administration may bring the risk of some form of reduction nearer. This could be avoided in Van Sluys's system by previously printed basic forms in which all aspects of veterinary acts to be discussed in the following are taken into account.
兽医外科学作为兽医学的先驱，其起源必定可追溯至中石器时代的史前时期。新生的情感生活促使畜牧文化从前的狩猎文化中分化出来。如今，治疗和治愈动物已成为一门科学，它基于专业知识并以专业方式进行实践。兽医学作为一门多学科科学的显著发展存在这样一种风险，即患者的整体状况被简化为单纯的身体问题。伯纳德·E·罗林在发表于《美国兽医医学协会杂志》第182卷第2期的一篇论文中阐述了他对此种简化的担忧。他得出了影响深远的结论，至少就美国而言是如此。尽管在荷兰，某种程度的简化和机械方法的风险并非完全凭空想象，但本文作者不能完全认同他的结论。兽医同行F. J. 范·斯吕伊斯的论文（载于《荷兰兽医杂志》1983年；108: 520 - 5）从不同角度呈现了患者管理系统的观点。然而，在这种管理中任何追求高效简洁的努力可能会使某种形式的简化风险更近一步。在范·斯吕伊斯的系统中，可以通过预先印制的基本表格来避免这种情况，这些表格考虑到了下文将要讨论的兽医行为的各个方面。
