Abstract

References 14 1. EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY Substantial improvements in surgery have been made in the last 150 years. Since the introduction of antiseptic technique by Lister and the introduction of inhalation anesthetics at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1846, surgery has progressed at a rapid pace. Prior to this time, surgical procedures were avoided and, if performed, they were brief. The best surgeon was the fastest surgeon who caused less pain to his restrained and un-anesthetized patient (1).
