详细介绍 / Introduction
William Steward Halsted (1852 - 1922), 美国外科学家、临床教育家。他对外科学领域的诸多问题进行了广泛研究。强调必须谨慎、精细地进行手术操作。他设计了乳腺癌、腹股沟疝、甲状腺切除、动脉瘤吻合、血管吻合等新技术，促进了外科治疗手段的革新。他对早期麻醉学的发展有很大贡献，应用可卡因为局部麻醉药，发展了局部麻醉法，确立了神经干阻滞麻醉法的基本原则和方法。 在研究麻醉法过程中，他曾在自己身上进行麻药试验，造成药物成瘾和中毒反应，而不得不住院治疗。他是外科消毒法的早期应用者, 1890 年首先提倡手术者戴橡皮手套。他注重临床技术与生理、病理学实验研究的结合，重视外科医生的继续教育， 强调外科住院医师的临床基本训练，借鉴德国的经验，制定外科住院医师制度，亲自为来自世界各国的医生们进行手术示教，培训了一批外科人才，促进了外科临床教育的正规化与体系化。该雕塑由香港新华集团捐赠。
William Steward Halsted (1852 - 1922) was an American surgeon and clinical educator who conducted extensive research in various fields of surgery. He emphasized the need for careful and precise surgical operations, and designed new techniques for the treatment of breast cancer, inguinal hernia, thyroidectomy, aneurysm anastomosis, vascular anastomosis, and other conditions, promoting the innovation of surgical treatments. Halsted also made great contributions to the development of early anesthesia, using cocaine as a local anesthetic and developing the principles and methods of nerve blocking anesthesia. During his research on anesthesia methods, he conducted drug experiments on himself, leading to drug addictions and toxic reactions that required hospitalization for treatment. He was an early adopter of surgical sterilization techniques, and in 1890, he first advocated for surgeons to wear rubber gloves during operations. He emphasized the integration of clinical techniques with physiological and pathological experimental research, placing importance on continuing education for surgeons. He stressed the fundamental clinical training for surgical residents and drew inspiration from Germany's experience in establishing a system for surgical residency. He personally provided surgical demonstrations and training to doctors from around the world, nurturing a group of talented surgeons and promoting the standardization and systematization of surgical clinical education. This sculpture was donated by the Xinhua Group of Hong Kong.
