- This monograph provides a new analytical framework for the history of surgery in which surgical innovation is the focal point, and explores key ethical issues in nineteenth-century medicine and society. It is of considerable conceptual as well as chronological scope, addressing the complex genealogy of a single surgical operation over a lengthy time period. It makes important interventions both within the history of surgery - a relatively understudied field - and the history of medical innovation. The monograph is the result of over nine years of research and writing in which multiple archives in England, Scotland and France were consulted.
