ABSTRACT

Objective: To highlight the works that the Mexican Association of General Surgery (AMCG) has sponsored and published in its history of 40 years (1974-2014). Material and methods: A systematic review was performed of the periodicals and books that the association has published during this period. Results: There have been two periodicals: Cirujano General (1980) and Boletín informativo (1993), both printed on paper. Later, both the bulletin (2009) and the journal (2010) migrated to electronic version; however, Cirujano General continues to print 200 copies for distribution in schools or medical schools that do not have Internet, or hospitals under similar conditions. In 2003, with the support of the Mexican publishing house El Manual Moderno, we published the first edition of the Tratado de cirugía general, with 1,607 pages in 191 chapters, written by general surgeons from 15 states and Mexico City. Five years later (2008), the second version was printed, with an extension of 1,581 pages and 192 chapters by general surgeons from 19 states. During the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, the AMCG edited three volumes of a series that was called Historia de la Cirugía General en la República Mexicana. Each of the volumes describes the birth, development and current state of general surgery in 15 states and 10 hospitals in Mexico City; the authors are all originally from those states. In 2012 and 2013, two other works were published by the AMCG: Historia de la Asociación Mexicana de Cirugía General and Perfiles: Cirujanos Generales Mexicanos del Siglo XX, with the support of the publishing house Graphimedic, SA de CV.
