Excerpt

Standardization in surgery has been shown to be one of the major drawbacks of out discipline for many years. In the early 1900s Robert L. Dickinson gave a lecture on Standardization of Surgery and communicated his concern with these words:

The high average of equipment, dexterity, information, conscientious care and self-sacrificing humanity in operating rooms, great and small, here and abroad, are matters which some years of planned travel and laborious note-taking heartily attest; but evidence is not lacking that advance is very irregular where it might be all along the line, and erratic rather than on any studied and unified plan [1].
