    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE HPB 2001 Volume 3, Number 3 219–220 provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector HPB PIONEERS Philip Sandblom; surgeon, scientist, humanist and citizen of the world (1903–2001) Philip Sandblom was born in 1903 in Chicago of Swedish parents. Having graduated from the Karolinska Institute Medical School in 1930, he obtained his basic surgical training in Örebro and Stockholm. He presented his scien- tific dissertation at the Karolinska Institute in 1944 after working for a year at the research laboratory of the famous physiologist AC Ivy at Northwestern University in Chicago. He started his surgical career as a paediatric surgeon and in 1945 he became surgeon-in-chief at the Crown Princess Louisa Hospital for Children in Stockholm. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Surgery at Lund University, where he also served as Vice- Chancellor from 1957 to 1968. Over the years he held numerous prestigious positions in national and interna- tional surgical societies and he was bestowed with a great number of distinctions and tokens of honour. Although Glisson as early as 1654 [1] and Morgagni in 1765 [2] had discussed the possibility of haemorrhage through the biliary tract, it was not until Philip Sandblom published his paper ‘Hemorrhage into the biliary tract fol- lowing trauma – traumatic hemobilia’ in 1948 [3] that this Philip Sandblom condition was properly identified. He carefully described the origin, development and salient features of the entity, a syndrome that was at this time largely unknown. Nowadays its clinical symptom triad of gastro-intestinal bleeding, biliary colic and jaundice is recognised by every surgeon.
