The 70th birthday of Professor Kraft-Kinz, who holds the Chair of Surgery at the University of Graz, is a suitable occasion to review the development of several surgical disciplines into independent specialist fields. Plastic surgery is one such monospecialty which has been in existence as a separate entity for the past 7 years. Important personalities and events in surgery are traced back to the 18th century and described from an Austrian perspective, with particular reference to the University of Graz. The process of achieving independence since 1988, in conjunction with the application of new techniques, in particular microsurgery, has led to enormous expansion of this specialty, both regarding quantity and quality of practice. Hence, the initial divergence has changed to an overlapping convergence of the specialties and the current interdisciplinary cooperation is of great benefit to all the individual subspecialist fields. This is illustrated by means of case reports representing two distinct areas of exemplary interdisciplinary interaction in surgical management.
格拉茨大学外科系主任克拉夫特 - 金茨教授的70岁生日，是回顾几个外科学科发展成为独立专科领域的恰当时机。整形外科学就是这样一个单一专科，在过去7年里已作为一个独立实体存在。外科学中的重要人物和事件可追溯到18世纪，并从奥地利的视角进行描述，特别提及格拉茨大学。自1988年以来，随着新技术尤其是显微外科技术的应用，该专科实现独立的过程使得其实践在数量和质量方面都得到了极大扩展。因此，最初的分化已转变为各专科的重叠融合，当前的跨学科合作对所有各个亚专科领域都大有裨益。通过代表外科治疗中两个不同领域的示范性跨学科互动的病例报告对此进行了说明。
