Abstract

Introduction: The tendency to use eponyms and traditional anatomic terms when identifying anatomic structures, often used by the medical community in general, and more often used locally at the surgical sphere, has become deeply rooted. However, both anatomy teaching and international publications today use the International Anatomical Terminology (IAT), effective since 1998 to encourage the use of a universal, uniform and updated terminology. The IAT, as the official list of anatomical structures, aims at facilitating communication and understanding among health professional globally. Objective: To demonstrate use of the traditional anatomical terminology that employs eponyms in scientific publications in Argentina. Material And Methods: A statistical retrospective study was performed in which 91 articles published in the Argentinean Journal of Surgical Residents from 2008 to 2013 were reviewed and compared. Reference to anatomical structures was reviewed, as well as its frequency and use.
