John Cedric Goligher was one of the great figures in British surgery. Although he practised general surgery as well, the medical community around the world elected him the pre-eminent colon and rectal surgeon of his time. Technically he was considered a master surgeon with enormous personal experience that was expressed in many papers and books written throughout his life. As the Chairman of the University Department of Surgery at the General Infirmary at Leeds, he developed many prospective controlled studies that granted him a national and international reputation. This paper aims to render him posthumous credit by remembering his career, literature contributions and the importance of his legacy to the surgical community.
