This handbook covers the technical, social and cultural history of
surgery. It reflects the state of the art and suggests directions
for future research. It discusses what is different and specific
about the history of surgery - a manual activity with a direct
impact on the patient's body. The individual entries in the
handbook function as starting points for anyone who wants to obtain
up-to-date information about an area in the history of surgery for
purposes of research or for general orientation. Written by 26
experts from 6 countries, the chapters discuss the essential topics
of the field (such as anaesthesia, wound infection, instruments,
specialization), specific domains areas (for example, cancer
surgery, transplants, animals, war), but also innovative themes
(women, popular culture, nursing, clinical trials) and make
connections to other areas of historical research (such as the
history of emotions, art, architecture, colonial history). Chapters
