title: [How much subspecialty does the general surgeon need?].
abstract: In this context general surgery is that which is practised in peripheral hospitals. Specialisation in a broad spectrum of current problems is needed. Knowledge in subspecialties clearly depends on hospital categories. After a 4-year basic block in general surgery a curriculum for the surgeon in peripheral hospitals is needed. It has to differ from a more narrow but highly specialized curriculum for academic and central hospitals.
