Abstract

Nonsurgical physicians have increasingly advocated for and adopted the use of data derived from well-done scientific studies (evidence-based medicine) to assist in decision making in patient care. Surgeons have, in general, resisted incorporating evidence-based medicine into their practices, and most surgical research has been based on expert opinions or findings from small groups of patients. This work will cover arguments for and against a hierarchy of evidence and for and against application of higher levels of evidence in the field of surgery.
