The great leader of Turkish surgery is 90 years old

Özet

The Turkish Surgical Society, which dates back to the year 1929 when the TurkishSurgical Society was founded, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. After themilitary coup on September 12, 1980, the first seeds of the Turkish Surgical Societywere sown in an extraordinary period when all non-governmental organizationswere closed down, some of which suspended, and all decisions and accounts scru-tinized. Devoted studies in such a difficult period will take their deserved place inthe history of Turkish Surgery as admirable services (1).
