Historically, arthroscopy originated from the concept of cystoscopy, and was limited to use in the large joints, principally the knee. It is only the past 50 years that has led to the techniques being applied to the small joints of the foot and ankle, and the success has mirrored the development of better lens systems and smaller instruments. Although Watanabe pioneered arthroscopy as a whole, and initiated foot-and-ankle arthroscopy, it was the fine tuning of techniques for the ankle and subtalar joints by pioneers such as Van Dijk in Europe and Ferkel in USA, who combined their innovative techniques along with extensive teaching worldwide that lead to its acceptance in the current form. Although limited in scale, arthroscopy of the foot and ankle is currently practiced in many centers in India, with trained surgeons applying latest techniques at a few centers. The current status of arthroscopy is that it has allowed minimally invasive surgery in smaller and smaller joints, with a huge potential for expansion in the future.

Minimally invasive surgery in the human was first identified in mid 900’s. The procedure as is more commonly practiced now was first reported in 1912. There have been many advances and new techniques developed in the past 100 years. Equine laparoscopy, was first reported in the 1970’s, and similarly has undergone much transformation in the last 40 years. It is now considered the standard of care in many surgical techniques such as cryptorchidectomy, ovariectomy, nephrosplenic space ablation, standing abdominal exploratory, and many other reproductive surgeries. This manuscript describes the history of minimally invasive surgery, and highlights many of the techniques that are currently performed in equine surgery. Special attention is given to instrumentation, ligating techniques, and the surgical principles of equine minimally invasive surgery.

The first issue of the journal “New Physics: Sae Mulli”, one of the representative journals of the Korean Physical Society, was published in May 1961. Since then, Sae Mulli has evolved as an important platform for sharing new findings with those members belonging to the Korean Physical Society. This article presents a brief review of the history of this journal. It also includes the current status of and prospects for this journal.

Background: Neurosurgery was first practiced in Victoria, BC in the 1950’s. It has grown from 1 neurosurgeon to 6 neurosurgeons today. Methods: Research into the beginning of Neurosurgery in Victoria demonstrates that it started with one surgeon and has grown significantly over the past 60 plus years. Results: Although Neurosugery started in Victoria with humble beginnings it has now developed into a sophisticated unit with 6 neurosurgeons with various subspeciality interests including complex and minimally invasive spine, cerebrovascular and neuro-oncology. Conclusions: The Neurosurgery division in Victoria has grown over the years from a single surgeon to 6 surgeons practicing a wide scope of neurosurgical procedures.
