AB The  successful  development  of  the  field  of  pediatric  surgery  has  depended  on  the  personal  devotion  of  the  founding  fathers  to  a  lifelong  exclusive  commitment  to  the  surgical  care  of  children.As  diagnostic  and  treatment  approaches  have  been  refined  for  childhood  disease,  the  principles  have  been  disseminated  by  publications,  presentations,  and  communication  among  like-minded  colleagues,  and  through  professional  organizations  and  journals.Key  to  the  perpetuation  of  the  field  of  pediatric  surgery  has  been  the  worldwide  codification  of  content  for  a  rational  training  program  for  future  pediatric  surgeons,  assuring  their  competence  and  their  future  leadership  of  the  field.Although  surgical  research  may  still  be  the  least  well-developed  aspect  of  this  field,  there  have  been  significant  contributions  by  pediatric  surgeons  in  the  specific  treatment  of  congenital  and  acquired  pediatric  disease,  improvements  in  cancer  care  treatment  and  outcomes,  our  understanding  of  fetal  development  and  the  potential  for  in  utero  treatment,  and  disease-specific  treatment  outcomes.The  continued  success  of  pediatric  surgery  will  require  a  commitment  to  clinical  care  excellence  that  assures  institutional  and  individual  surgeon  competence,  optimal  education,  research  that  is  designed  to  improve  child  health  outcomes,  and  a  strong  commitment  to  advocacy  for  children  that  ensures  their  access  to  optimal  surgical  care.
