AB For  more  than  80  years,  this  Atlas  has  defined  the  scope  of  general  surgery.  In  the  1930s,  the  original  authors—Cutler  and  Zollinger—personally  did  the  64  procedures  described  in  the  first  edition,  but  specialty  boards  were  birthing  in  all  areas  of  medicine  and  surgery.  A  generation  later  when  Robert  M.  Zollinger,  Jr.,  trained  at  the  Brigham  &  Women’s  Hospital  in  the  1960s,  an  academic  general  surgeon  was  exposed  to,  and  assisted  at,  all  the  surgical  specialty  operations  so  as  to  have  broad  familiarity  with  the  state  of  what  we  called  “modern”  surgical  care.  It  was  a  time  when  85%  of  surgical  residencies  were  in  community  hospitals,  where  general  surgeons  cared  for  the  majority  of  patients.
