title: Stephen H. Watts: A disciple of Halsted.
abstract: Stephen Watts was one of Dr. William S. Halsted's 17 resident surgeons. He contributed much to experimental, clinical, and didactic surgery during his lifetime. Primarily, his experimental work was in vascular and transplant surgery modeled after Alexis Carrel's efforts. Clinically, he maintained the diversity and expertise propagated by Dr. Halsted. As a teacher he continued the education of young surgeons in the spirit of a true academician.
