Abstract

Innovation in surgery is not new and should not be unexpected. As an example, the history of total joint replacement has demonstrated continuous evolution, and the relatively high complication rates associated with early prostheses and techniques eventually led to the improvement of implants and refinement of the surgical procedures. Gradual adoption of these improvements and their eventual diffusion into the surgical community led to improved success and increased rates of implantation [1]. Increased surgical experience was eventually accompanied by more rapid surgical performance and then by the development of standardized hospitalization protocols, which eventually led to more rapid rehabilitation and return to function. These benefits are well accepted and can be seen as helping contribute to the establishment of a more “consumer-driven” and medical practice.
