From a renowned surgeon and historian with five decades of experience comes a remarkable history of surgerys developmentspanning the Stone Age to the present dayblending meticulous medical studies with lively and skillful storytelling.

There are not many events in life that can be as simultaneously life-frightening and life-saving as a surgical operation. Yet, in America, tens-of-millions of major surgical procedures are performed annually but few of us pause to consider the magnitude of these figures because we have such inherent confidence in surgeons. And, despite passionate debates about healthcare and the endless fascination with surgical procedures, most of us have no idea how surgeons came to be because the story of surgery has never been fully told. Now, elegantly reveals the fascinating history of surgerys evolution from its earliest roots in Europe through its rise to scientific and social dominance in the United States.

From the 16th-century saga of Andreas Vesalius and his crusade to accurately describe human anatomy while appeasing the conservative clergy who clamored for his burning at the stake, to the hard-to-believe story of late-19th century surgeons apathy to Joseph Listers innovation of antisepsis and how this indifference led to thousands of unnecessary surgical deaths, is both a global history and a uniquely American tale. Youll discover how in the 20th century the US achieved surgical world supremacy heralded by the Nobel Prizewinning, seemingly impossible feat of transplanting a kidney and how the heart-lung machine was developed, along with much more.

Today, the list of possible operations is almost infinitefrom knee and hip replacement to heart bypass and transplants to fat reduction and rhinoplastyand Rutkow draws on his five-decade career to show us how we got here. Authoritative, captivating, and comprehensive, portrays the evolution of surgery in all its dramatic and life-enhancing complexity and shows that its history is truly one awe-inspiring triumph after another.
