Evidence-based medicine is one of the most frequently used operational concepts in medical practice. It is the result of integrating the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. The practical use of evidence-based surgery requests correctly formulated clinical questions and critical appraisal of the best available medical resources. By comparing evidence-based surgery with the surgical traditional paradigm, the advantages of this method can be easily stated but an expert surgeon should also be aware of its limitations.
