RESUMEN
En el presente estudio se analizan tres términos que en nuestros días aparecen con frecuencia en artículos acerca de nuevas técnicas operatorias. Improvisación e innovación son confundidos con el vocablo investigación. Los tres conceptos son diferentes, por más que se llegan a emplear como sinónimos. Un buen número de nuevas técnicas operatorias aparecen constantemente en revistas quirúrgicas y son simples improvisaciones que no han pasado por el tamiz de una metodología de la investigación. Muchas veces, tales procedimientos resultan beneficiosos, por más que otras adolecen a largo plazo —y en ocasiones a corto—, de efectos nocivos impredecibles. Este artículo, llevado a efecto mediante una revisión del problema en la literatura médica mundial, tiene la pretensión de buscar un control acerca del abuso de dichas operaciones.
ABSTRACT
This article analyses three terms that are often cited in the current surgical literature: improvisation, innovation and surgical research. Each one has a totally different definition yet in our daily practice terms are often confused and even used as synonyms. A wide variety of novel technical procedures are developed and sometimes published without being first subjected to rigorous peer review. These results sometimes are a by-product of improvisation. Often, these new techniques have undoubtedly contributed to the progress of surgery but in other cases, measured in the immediate or long terms, side effects have become unpredictable and have caused serious harm. In this article, I carried out a review of the literature with the aim of proposing a more rigorous approach for the publication of research results in the changing field of surgery.
