HISTORY OF SURGERY
During the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, many discoveries in surgical practice took
place. Much credit belongs to the French surgeon Ambroise Paré, often called the father
of mdern surgery. Paré successfully employed the method of ligating, or tying off,
arteries to control bleed, thus eliminating the old method of cauterizing, or searing, the
bleeding part with a red-hot iron or boiling oil. Discoveries about functions of the human
body also helped make surgery a more accurate science during this period. For example,
the English physical and anatomist William Harvey discovered the prosess of blood
circulation and Italian anatomist Marcello Malpighi identified the existence of tiny blood
vessels called capillaries that carry blood from the major blood vessels to the cells of the
body. John Hunter, a British anatomist and surgeon, stressed the close relationship
between medicine and surgey and performed many experimental operations that
advanced the practice of surgery.
