Sto godina kirurgije u Osijeku: kronologija 1895.-1995.

The professional and medical-historical monograph One Hundred Years of Surgery in Osijek: A Chronology 1895–1995, authored by Dr. Nikola Hajduković, is a valuable synthesis dedicated to the century-long development of surgical practice in the city of Osijek and at the Osijek Clinical Hospital. The author meticulously and chronologically documents the pivotal moments, organizational shifts, and professional achievements that defined a century of work by Osijek’s surgeons—from their modest beginnings in the late 19th century to the modern medical institution of today. The book provides an exhaustive overview of the establishment of various surgical departments and specialized services, the introduction of contemporary operative techniques, and the biographies of prominent physicians, surgeons, and medical staff who built the reputation of the Osijek hospital. A particularly valuable chapter is dedicated to the exceptional contributions and efforts of Osijek’s surgeons under extraordinary circumstances, with a focus on the care of the wounded and the treatment of patients during the Croatian War of Independence. Enriched with archival material, historical photographs, and documents, this monograph serves as an essential resource for medical historians, healthcare professionals, local history researchers, and anyone interested in exploring the rich medical heritage of Osijek and Slavonia.
