A review of Zvonimir Krajina’s professional heritage in the light of the hundredth anniversary of the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases and Head and Neck Surgery of the Zagreb School of Medicine
Drago Prgomet
Sažetak
Among the many great physicians who headed the Department for Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases and Head and Neck Surgery at the Zagreb School of Medicine a significant place belongs to profes- sor Zvonimir Krajina since his scientific and professional work was through his entire career centred around this department. He was elected Head of the Department in 1971, exactly half a century after its founding. Since then, he sought to enrich it with a series of innovations in professional and scien- tific areas, as well as make organisational changes in its management. Zvonimir Krajina was equally skilful in all areas of head and neck surgery. He developed rhinology and functional nose surgery, head and neck oncology, and especially functional laryngeal surgery. Besides running the Department, Professor Krajina was also the vice dean of the School of Medicine in the period of 1970 – 1974, and dean in 1974 – 1978. At the University of Zagreb, he was Head of the Committee on International Relations from 1978 – 1982, and in the period of 1982 – 1986 he was the rector of the University
of Zagreb. He was a member of many international scientific societies and was a visiting professor at universities in Europe, USA and Japan. Professor Krajina was truly an exceptional person and doctor and we can claim with full conviction that Zvonimir Krajina is one of the representative personalities of Croatian otorhinolaryngology.
