Long before the term 'handsurgery' was coined, surgery in the hand was performed. The development towards a surgical speciality, however, is closely bound to the name Sterling Bunnell. By the end of World War II he instituted hand centers, in which tissue specific surgery was replaced by region specific surgery. Introduction of microvascular surgery made an immediate and global repair of all injured structures possible and desirable.
早在“手外科”这个术语被创造出来之前，手部手术就已经开展了。然而，向外科专科领域的发展与斯特林·邦内尔这个名字紧密相连。到第二次世界大战结束时，他设立了手部中心，在这些中心里，按组织的手术被按区域的手术所取代。微血管手术的引入使得对所有受损结构进行即时和全面的修复成为可能且必要。
