[Contributions of Dr. Vladan Djordjević to Serbian Medical Society meetings].

Dr. Vladan Djordjević (1844-1930) gave a number of contributions to the Serbian Medical Society. He was the main founder of the Society and its journal "Serbian Archive of Medicine", he was the editor-in-chief of the first book of "Archive", edited in 1874, he published a number of books and his own translations in the "Archive" editions, he was the secretary, vice-president and president of the Society, he secured a regular support from the Duke, later King, Milan to the Society, and so on. However, his professional and scientific contributions to the success of the Society meetings were hardly written about at all. An analysis of the records from the Society meetings, which were written regularly and in detail, showed that Dr. Vladan Djordjević, particularly during the first few years from the foundation, presented a number of clinically interesting and rare cases, took part in discussions about his college presentations and papers about a number of operative procedures he performed in Belgrade city hospital, military hospital and in private homes. His presentations, papers and discussions doubtlessly show very good knowledge of medicine, an analytical approach and above all his great devotion to the Serbian Medical Society goals. In this paper, we have tried to throw more light on his professional contribution to the Serbian Medical Society.
