Written in a lively and engaging style, by a medical author and
teacher of great renown, this book provides a fascinating and
informative introduction to the development of surgery through the
ages. It illustrates some of the key advances in surgery from
primitive techniques such as trepanning, through some of the
gruesome but occasionally successful methods employed by the
ancient civilisations, the increasingly sophisticated techniques of
the Greeks and Romans, the advances of the Dark Ages and the
Renaissance and on to the early pioneers of anaesthesia and
antisepsis such as Morton, Lister and Pasteur. Heavily illustrated
in colour, The Cambridge Illustrated History of Surgery is the only
serious choice for a reader wanting a lively and informative
single-volume introduction to surgical history.
