Provides a brief historical overview of the origins of evidence-based surgery.
The concept of an evidence-based approach to surgical practice has a sound historical basis through the founder of scientific surgery, John Hunter, and the first advocate of surgical outcomes research, Ernest Amory Codman. While embracing the concepts, however, neither used the term evidence-based . The evidence-based movement became established in the United Kingdom with the foundation of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Oxford, in 1995.
