Keyhole surgery has been made possible through the rapid
development of various medical technologies, first pioneered in the
1970s. Revolutionary in the way it reduced the risk, surgical
complications, healing time and scarring compared to open surgery,
keyhole surgery soon became the preferred method throughout many
surgical specialities.Here, John Wickham, the 'godfather' of
robotic surgery, reflects on a life spent in research, discovery
and struggle for innovation in order to make keyhole surgery
widespread, accessible and available to patients. An Open and Shut
Case tracks the evolution of surgery in the later parts of the 20th
century, from initial surgical training in the 1960s to the rapid
growth in the field of minimally invasive techniques throughout the
1970s and 80s in many specialities, precursors to the techniques
used today. It concludes with a look at the effect of the National
Health Service on the practice of medicine and nursing in the UK
throughout this time.Perfect for surgeons and those interested in
the history of surgery and surgical techniques, it also focusses on
lessons learnt, both good and bad, when dealing with the management
of public health.
