Surgery: An Unfamiliar History Maybury Nigel Keith
This is a fascinating account of surgery that throws light on forgotten and unknown aspects of its practice from antiquity to the present. The first of these was the trephination of the skull in Peru twelve thousand years ago, presumably to exorcise evil spirits. It illuminates the rare periods of progress and also explains why there were lengthy times when no original operations were undertaken.Maybury has achieved this by identifying the time and place when each operation was first undertaken.
Between these periods, no original operations took This operation over several thousand years reached Europe where Hippocrates described and rationalised it to treat head injuries, it is still practiced today and is the forerunner of each subsequent original operation.The golden ages of surgery took place in Ancient Greece and India and 1,300 years later in Western Europe and the USA.
