Abstract

As with most things in life, the passage of time usually brings progress through advancing technologies. At one time, the horse was a state-of-the-art military fighting machine and a simple compass represented advanced navigational technology. Things come and go and while some leave a lasting impact others are replaced, never to be revisited. Surgical techniques are continually evolving, and while quantum strides have been made in the last century, just because something is new, this does not make it better. For this reason we all owe it to our respective professions to carefully evaluate emerging trends and technologies before abandoning procedures that are proven to be safe and effective. Some surgeons too eagerly embrace new technologies, while others are late in acceptance or in some cases never progress.
