Surgical reSOLUTION No. 3
From Medieval Surgery to State-of-the-Art Operating Technolgies
The person looking at you on the front cover of this issue of reSOLUTION is Wilhelm Fabry, who was born 450 years ago. Fusty and antiquated? On the contrary – Fabry, a surgeon, inventor and publicist was one of the founders of modern surgery. Many of the surgical techniques he invented are still used in a very similar form today.
Unlike Fabry, we have state-of-the-art operating technology and equipment at our disposal today to save lives and alleviate suffering. But in places where money is in short supply there is a shortage of modern technology, too – in Hungary, for example, where children suffering from cancer cannot receive the treatment they need. The Hungarian Children’s Cancer Foundation has taken up their cause and donates urgently required instruments, most recently a head-mounted Leica HM500.
