[Our surgical heritage. The surgical clinic of the Berlin Charité and its contribution to progress in surgical medicine in the past and present].
An account is given of the making of surgery on the premises of Charité against the background of the 260-year history of this centre of clinical teaching. In that course of time, surgery has changed from craft to science. -Surgery was primarily applied to cope with surface wound and diseases in the 18th century, while pathological processes in the abdominal cavity and cranium became operable in the 19th century, owing to introduction of anaesthesia and antisepsis. In the 20th century, modern medicine and equipment enabled surgical interventions with all regions of the human body. -Osseous and articular diseases as well as cerebral and pulmonary diseases are priorities in surgical practice at Charité. Reference should be also made to transplantation surgery, with results of international weight having been scored from Dieffenbach to our days.
