Империя хирургов

The advent of anesthesia, antiseptics and aseptics prepared the Foundation for the development of surgery. And once in the 80-ies of the XIX century it became possible to speak about its strength as soon as the infection has ceased to inspire fear, which inspired a century earlier, surgeons had access to all parts of the human body. Surgery began the struggle for the restoration of the "white spots" in human physiology. Completely unexplored prior to this, the liver, heart, lungs, thyroid, full of the mysteries of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system - a surgical scalpel into new limits of the human body, previously inaccessible to him. This marked the beginning of international competition, which came together surgeons from all parts of the world. This publication is the second part of the band's "History of surgery", which also included the book "Century of surgeons". These books are considered classics of the history of medicine and earned Jurgen Thorwald popularity all over the world.
