  • Title: The evolution of surgery at the New York Hospital.
    Author: Leitman IM.
    Journal: Bull N Y Acad Med; 1991; 67(5):475-500. PubMed ID: 1933072.
    Abstract:
    Surgery evolved from colonial times through many innovations and developments. During this time it was transformed from a dangerous practice to a delicate and scientific art. Many of these early developments continue to be a part of modern surgical therapy. Although European discoveries have had a profound effect on this evolution, American advances solidified the link between the laboratory and the operating room. The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, like other medical centers around the country, made important contributions to this evolution. Because the hospital has spanned American history, it also has paralleled surgical development in the United States.
