APSA: a forum for progress in pediatric surgery.
The APSA scientific program has indeed been a forum for progress for a broad spectrum of medical and surgical problems affecting infants and children. Significant contributions from studies at the bedside and in the laboratory have been made by an extraordinarily large percent of APSA members from both children's and general hospitals. In addition to the many advances that apply to our own specialty, fundamental advances have been recognized and accepted by others. Developments for the future have been identified and our entire membership can be proud of the wonderful achievements of the last 20 years of APSA scientific programs. Finally, I thank you all for giving me the honor to serve as the President of this outstanding organization, which has accomplished so much already, but whose best days are yet to come.
