摘要
China’s pediatric surgery is a specialty first established in 1954 by Prof.Jinzhe Zhang,an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.During the same period,several professors(most notably Anquan Ma,Yaxiong She,Zanyao Wang,and Erchang Tong)successively established pediatric surgery specialties1 in Shanghai and Wuhan,as well as in Shenyang,Chengdu,Chongqing,and Guangzhou.Initially,pediatric surgery primarily focused on treatment of emergencies,such as trauma,burns,surgical infection,and acute abdomen.Subsequently,as economic conditions improved,emergency cases decreased;in contrast,cases of congenital malformation increased annually as a focus of pediatric surgery.
