5 Historical Breakthroughs in Surgery That Changed History

All Posts, History of Surgery, Surgical Innovations and Technology / Published: | Updated:

Modern medicine is often taken for granted, but for most of human history, a surgical recommendation was essentially a death sentence. Before the mid-19th century, surgeons were judged primarily by their speed—some could amputate a limb in under 30 seconds—because patients were wide awake and the risk of fatal infection was nearly 100% [1]. Today,
