Abstract
The history of pediatric surgery is the history of constant innovation. The methods and standards of innovation in medicine have changed significantly over time. The beginning of surgery based its discovery on experimentation and observation. It was always intertwined with the history of general surgery. For a long time, we observed the individualistic approach to innovation. However, as we enter the evidence-based era of medicine, the innovations in pediatric surgery change and adapt to fit into the new paradigm.
This paper aims to describe the history of pediatric surgery from its early beginnings to the current times. It describes the changing approach to pediatric patients, that differs from the adult and shows the connection between pediatric and general surgery and the history of its separation. It also illustrates the shift between an individualistic approach to medicine and more study-based medicine and tries to show the direction of future development.
