[Acupuncture anesthesia' 50 years: beyond anesthesia and surgery].
Today, when acupuncture and surgery have been combined for a half century, the author of the present paper holds that the main role of acupuncture in whole process of the surgery does not only mean anesthesia. Getting this point consciously, the author points out that acupuncture will not only have a bigger role in the operating room, but also plays an important and far-reaching impact on the acupuncturology and even the whole life science.
