Surgical, Amputation, and Neurosurgical Cased Sets Sets from the 1700's to early 1900's |
As surgical procedures became more technically feasible due to anesthesia in the 1840's, surgical sets become more complex. Many of the sets featured on this page are European in origin and reflect the high degree of craftsmanship and the technically advanced state of the surgical arts. As horrifying as it may seem to most lay people, opening the skull is a skill which has been practiced for centuries. The high degree of technical sophistication developed in the 1700's can be seen in the neurosurgical sets shown on this page.
