Tal vez una excepción sea el trabajo del cirujano uruguayo Gerardo Caprio, que publicó su informe sobre una resección del lóbulo izquierdo del hígado, en 1931, en un período oscuro de las ideas sobre esta técnica quirúrgica, luego del fuerte impulso que tuviera en los últimos 25 años del siglo XIX. Los conceptos anatómicos y de la movilización hepática utilizados por Caprio fueron desarrollados por Mérola en comunicaciones que realizadas entre 1916 y 1920, las cuales incluso muestran fundadas discrepancias con los grandes anatomistas de la época. El presente trabajo analiza el perfil académico de Mérola y Caprio a través de un análisis de sus publicaciones, en cuanto a las bases de conocimiento y experiencia que impulsaron a Caprio a realizar esa hepatectomia y describir los principios quirúrgicos aplicados en la misma, que se consolidarían en el mundo recién 20 años después.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Regarding the history of liver surgery, Latin American pioneers have only occasionally been mentioned in Anglo-Saxon literature. One of such rare cases was Uruguayan surgeon Gerardo Caprio, who in 1931 published a report about a resection of the left lobe of the liver. This was done during an uneventful period in the development of ideas on this surgical technique, following the remarkable advances made in the last quarter of the 19th Century. The anatomic and liver manipulation concepts used by Caprio had been developed by Mérola in reports dating back to 1916 and 1920, which revealed well-grounded disagreements with the most renowned anatomists of the time. This paper discusses Mérola and Caprio&#8217;s academic profile by analyzing their publications, the knowledge base and experience that led the latter to perform such liver resection, and the surgical principles applied to it, which would only be formally adopted worldwide twenty years later.]]></p></abstract>

Tal vez uma exceção seja o trabalho do cirurgião uruguaio Gerardo Caprio, que publicou uma ressecção do lobo esquerdo do fígado em 1931, em um período sombrio de as idéias sobre esta técnica cirúrgica, após o forte impulso que teve nos últimos 25 anos do século XIX. Os conceitos anatômicos e a mobilização hepática utilizada pelo Caprio foram desenvolvidos por Mérola em comunicações que datam de 1916 a 1920, que até mesmo mostre desentendimentos claros com os grandes anatomistas da época. Este artigo analisa o perfil acadêmico de Mérola e Caprio através de uma análise de suas publicações, em termos de bases de conhecimento e experiência que levaram a esta hepatectomia e aos princípios cirúrgicos aplicados nele, que seria consolidado em o mundo apenas 20 anos depois.]]></p></abstract>
