ReviewHistory of surgery at the University of Vienna : The three surgical schools.
There are several publications on the history of surgery at the University of Vienna. None of these publications, however, sought to group the rich history of surgery in Vienna into distinct "surgical schools" of which, upon closer inspection, only 3 have emerged over the last 250 years. ⋯ Each of these schools is unique in that it maintained a degree of coherence, as knowledge, methodology and scientific focus were passed down in a chain of succession. These three schools also significantly influenced the rest of surgery in Vienna because most of the department chairs at the Vienna city hospitals or private hospitals were trained in one of these three schools.
