There are nearly 300 saints whose names are associated with diseases or the cure of the sick and this relationship has come about either by some miracle attributed to them or by some aspect of their martyrdom. Some diseases have a number of saints as patrons and some saints have many different patronages. A selection has been made of some that have an association with surgical conditions.
有近300位圣人的名字与疾病或病人的治愈有关,这种关系的产生要么是因为归因于他们的某种奇迹,要么是因为他们殉道的某个方面。有些疾病有多位圣人作为守护神,有些圣人则有许多不同的守护对象。这里挑选了一些与外科疾病相关的例子。
