title: [General surgery. In the perspective of accident surgery].
abstract: There no longer exist any arguments supporting a continuation of general surgery. Due to protective regulations and today's high degree of specialization, it is no longer possible for a surgeon to keep abreast of all developments in all types of surgery required. Now in surgery as in other medical fields, specialization is the guarantee of continued improvements and optimal results.
