Methods and means of research
When writing this thematic research article, its author used the method of literary-critical analysis on the issue he was studying. For this purpose, he found special research articles by other authors on the Internet, as well as Internet pages and sites dedicated to medical philately, and a reflection on them of thematic philatelic, philocartical, phaleristic and numismatic materials dedicated to surgery and surgeons. All found illustrative materials were grouped by topic, transformed, using a special computer program, into their screenshot copies. All text and illustrative materials found on the Internet have corresponding links to the places of their borrowing, authorship and affiliation, in order to comply with copyright.
As has already been said, surgery and the environment of operating rooms during operations are one of the most frequently used and sought-after themes in medical philately.
