Surgical diseases are divided into five categories: trauma, infection, tumor, deformity and dysfunction. These diseases often need to be treated by surgery or manipulation. Therefore, surgery has become a unique treatment of surgery. People often regard the need for surgical treatment as the standard to distinguish medical diseases from surgical diseases. But surgery is not equal to surgery, and surgery is only one of the treatments for surgical diseases.
The scope of surgery has expanded to all parts of the body, and it is difficult to develop in depth, thus promoting a finer division of labor in surgery. In addition to general surgery (including abdominal surgery), there are brain surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, urology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, trauma, burns, tumors, pediatric surgery, neurosurgery and so on. Some also set up specialties such as microsurgical organ transplantation.
Internal medicine plays an extremely important role in clinical medicine. It is not only the basis of clinical medicine, but also closely related to them. Knowledge of internal medicine comes from medical practice. In the process of treating diseases and saving lives, doctors in past dynasties accumulated experience, removed the false from the true, removed the rough and refined, and constantly improved their understanding level from practice. Through years of long-term accumulation, they gradually formed a systematic method of disease diagnosis and treatment. After generations of medical scientists sorted out and summarized the knowledge gained in these practices, and conducted systematic research (including the research of evidence-based medicine in recent years), it developed into the current internal medicine. An excellent clinician should not only have the desire to serve the people, but also have the ability to serve the people. To acquire the ability to cure diseases, we must be good at reading, be diligent in practice and constantly sum up experiences and lessons in practice. Only after so many years of in-depth research and efforts can it become useful. ENT belongs to the field of surgery.
