The Editors of Hernia have excerpted short segments of a Festschrift dedicated to Lloyd M. Nyhus, MD, found in the American Journal of Surgery, July 1996, Volume 172. The Festschrift was edited by faculty colleagues of Dr. Nyhus at the University of Illinois, College of Medicine, Chicago and included Professors H. Abcarian, P.E. Donahue, and R. Pollak. These excerpts now make up the introduction to this article and are found under the heading "Nyhus' half century of surgery."
