Surgery as a medical discipline has from its beginnings appealed to
the imagination of many. It is therefore not surprising to find
that its colourful past has induced quite a few authors to take up
their pens. The truth of this in the Netherlands is witnessed by a
number of dissertations and monographs and especially by the
numerous articles related to the history of surgery which have
appeared in the medical weekly Nederlands Tijdschrift voor
Geneeskunde, particularly during the two decades preceding the
Second World War. The memorial volume, published in 1977 by the
'Nederlandse Vereniging voor Heelkunde' (Association of Surgeons of
the Netherlands) has thoroughly covered the history of Dutch
surgery since the tum of the century, but a chronological survey of
the earlier events which led to these modem achievements is still
wanting. This book has been written with a view to meeting this
need. In it, Dutch surgery has by no means been taken as an
isolated phenomenon, but considered in its context with European
surgery as a whole. Foreign influences on the on surgery abroad are
discussed Netherlands and, conversely, Dutch influences whilst
contemporary medical thinking is set against a cultural and
political back ground. It is hoped that this approach will allow
the book to exceed the narrow boundaries of'campanilismo' and make
it of interest to non-Dutch readers as well."
