…The extirpation of the thyroid gland ... typifies, perhaps better than any operation, the supreme triumph of the surgeon’s art.... A feat which today can be accomplished by any competent operator without danger of mishap and which was conceived more than one thousand years ago.... There are operations today more delicate and perhaps more difficult.... But is there any operative problem propounded so long ago and attacked by so many ... which has yielded results as bountiful and so adequate? [1]Dr. William S. Halsted, 1920
