La cirugia moderna se inicio en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX con los medicos que aportaron conocimientos universales para el progreso de esta disciplina. Este libro nos relata la vida y obra de cuatro cirujanos de la epoca contemporanea: Joseph Lister, Theodor Billroth, Samuel D. Gross y William S. Halsted. En el se nos ofrecen los logros profesionales y cientificos de estos cuatro cirujanos, ademas de aspectos ineditos de su vida privada y las cualidades que en conjunto los convirtieron en fuente de ensenanza para las nuevas generaciones.
Hacia finales del siglo xix la medicina consiguió establecer unos avances cruciales: la narcosis, la antisepsia y la asepsia abrieron a los cirujanos el acceso a zonas del cuerpo humano hasta entonces inexploradas. El libro nos acerca también a las innovaciones que por entonces parecieron prodigiosas, como el trasplante de córnea, que sentaron las bases de la moderna cirugía. Con este volumen, Jürgen Thorwald completa la crónica de la cirugía moderna iniciada con El siglo de los cirujanos, recuperado también por Ariel.
Many surgical revolutions distinguish the history and evolution of surgery. Some are small, others more dominant, but each revolution improves the art and science of surgery. Surgical revolutionaries are indispensable in the conception and completion of any surgical revolution, initiating scientific and technological advances that propel surgical practice forward. Surgical revolutionaries can come in the guises of Lister (antisepsis), Halsted (surgical residency and safe surgery), Cushing (safe brain surgery), Wangensteen (gastrointestinal physiological surgery), Blalock (relief of cyanotic heart disease), Lillehei (open heart surgery), and many others. With the hindsight of history, we can recognize patterns of progress, evaluate means of advancing new ideas, and solidify details of innovative behavior that could lead to new surgical revolutions. This volume examines the following vital questions in detail: What is a surgical revolution and how do we recognize one? Are surgical revolutionaries different? Is there a way to educate new surgical revolutionaries? Can history provide enduring examples of surgical revolutions? Are there different kinds of surgical revolutions? What characterizes a surgical revolution in the context of science and technology? What surgical revolutions are on the horizon?
This book introduces writings on the history and philosophy of surgery that previously appeared in the Journal of Investigative Surgery. It attempts to reach students of history in general and those interested in the history and philosophy of surgery in particular.
The importance of medical history in the annals of surgery has been frequently underemphasized. There is so much we can learn from the deeds and examples of our predecessors. There is so much we can admire in their lives and contributions. There is so much we can use to guide our professional development.This book introduces writings on the history
Despite the establishment of the first medical school in British-ruled America in 1765, Toledo-Pereyra (surgery, Michigan State U.; Borgess Research Institute, Kalamazoo) asserts that medical education in the states was not up to the task of adequately preparing physicians until the end of the 19th century. In this medical history for college and medical students, he traces American healthcare from early settlers' encounter with Native Indian medicine to the advances marking the modern era. Illustrations feature early hospitals, the first woman to receive a MD from an American medical school (Elizabeth Blackwell), a pioneering African-American surgeon/educator (Daniel Hale Williams), other pioneers in the field, and early medical procedures. -- ‡c From publisher's description.
