AB With  the  publication  of  its  11th  edition,  Schwartz's  Principles  of  Surgery  celebrates  its  50th  anniversary.  It  is  remarkable  to  consider  the  number  of  students,  residents,  fellows,  surgeons,  and  patients  who  have  benefitted  from  the  collective  knowledge  compiled  in  this  text  over  the  last  half-century.  It  is  an  honor  for  the  current  editorial  board  to  carry  forward  the  tradition  of  excellence  in  education  established  by  Dr.  Seymour  Schwartz  and  previous  editors.  We  recognize  that  surgeons  have  entered  into  an  era  of  surgery  in  which  the  outcomes  of  operations  and  patient  satisfaction  scores  are  carefully  monitored,  demanding  excellence  through  enhanced  evidenced-based  knowledge,  patient-family–centered  care,  and  the  highest  levels  of  professionalism.
