Abstract

Introduction & Objective: During recent decades THORACIC SURGERY has been separated and developed in IRAN as a branch from general surgery. Today, thoracic operations are done by surgeons who are trained for this work and quality of care is comparable to world-wide practice. Having knowledge on this historical process, might be valuable for readers and make them familiar with pioneers in this field and results in to motivation of young surgeons for more development.Material & Methods: Many interviews were done with senile chest surgeons, professors and their families, their personal files and pictures were used and documents from "Educational Secretary – Ministry of Health..." were also used to complete the final text.Results: From the beginning of contemporary solar century (1300), thoracic operations were undertaken occasionally by general surgeons, however, up to the 3rd decade closed circuit anesthesia was not available, formal training of THORACIC SURGERY was not practiced, antibiotics had not been introduced and even there was not any knowledge about modern methods of pleural drainage and chest tubes.Therefore, thoracic operation in that era, was limited to emergency treatment of trauma patients and evacuation of abscesses and infections. Tuberculosis and need for surgical treatment of its complications was an important stimulus for development of THORACIC SURGERY. General surgeons which were graduated in Europe or USA had some familiarity with THORACIC SURGERY and occasionally embarked on these operations In. some Military centers and organizations from foreign countries, thoracic operation were also occasionally done by IRANian or foreign surgeons. Professor "Iahya Adle" were one a pioneer general surgeons who attempted some thoracic operations and trained it to his assistants. In 1330 Dr "Sadegh Ghazi" and soon after, "Dr Anvar Shakki" were invited and employed by "Charity Foundation for Tuberculosis" and began their work in "Boo-Ali Hospital"& "Abo- Hossein Hospital". They were the first surgeons who concentrated their work on surgery of tuberculosis and chest diseases. They had been trained in this field in France. The years of 1330-40 should be known as the beginning of THORACIC SURGERY in these centers. The works of "Ghazi & Anvar Shakki" was extended to other centers including: "Masih Daneshvari" Hospital, "Sorkheh Hessar Hospital", military hospitals and other places. From the beginning of 5thdecade (1340-50) surgeons which had been trained and graduated as thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons in USA or Europe, were employed by Tehran University and other universities.Thoracic surgery became a formal practice and academic educational courses established with contributions of these surgeons. In 1363 General THORACIC SURGERY was approved as a postgraduate subspecialty. More than 80 thoracic surgeons have been graduated since then; most of them are active in the field in different cities.Today, Tehran University, Shaheed Beheshti University and Tabriz University are approved to train general thoracic surgeons and in many other universities and non-university centers trained surgeons are active in this field and have established separate departments of general THORACIC SURGERY.Conclusions: Considering the establishment of this subspecialty in our university centers and its scientific development nowadays there is a good opportunity for education and research in this field of surgery in IRAN.
