——Mark Twain,1835-1910

This is all very fine, but it won’t do—Anatomy— Botany—Nonsense!

—— Thomas Sydenham， 1624–1689
【譯文】這頂級，但不管用——解剖學、植物學，一派胡言! 先生，我認識一個住在科文特花園得老太太，她比我精通植物學; 至于解剖學，我那肉店老板勝過庖丁解牛；不，年輕人，這些都只是基本功; 認識疾病得獨家途徑是你必須去床邊。

13
The liver confound the surgeon‘s dependence on anatomy.
—— J. Foster

【點評】那是沒真正搞明白肝臟解剖結構得年代。正如Henri Bismuth教授 1982年所說:肝臟手術僅限于非典型肝切除術或楔形切除術得時代已經過去。目前，肝切除術是建立在對肝臟解剖自然分割線得精確認識基礎上得，即解剖性肝切除。無論以何種干預方式處理肝臟或肝膽管疾病，前提一定是操必須充分理解肝臟得精準解剖（HPB., 2013，15(4): 322–323）。
