INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL SURGERY

The term "surgery" comes from Greek. Surgery is the branch of medi­cine in which various mechanical therapeutic manipulations (incisions, punctures, suturing, reductions of dislocations and so on) performed by the physician are used. These procedures are designated by the words "surgical operation" or merely by one word "operation".

For a very long time surgical operations were performed only on the superficial parts of the body, but even after such operations severe in­flammations due to the infection of the wound were frequently met with, causing death.

Only during the second half of the 19th century, the general develop­ment of natural science made it possible to solve this difficult problem. The brilliant Russian surgeon N. I. Pirogov was the first to voice the assumption that wounds were infected by invasion of special causative agents named by him "miasmas". In 1863 the famous French scientist Pas­teur published the results of his remarkable studies of the processes of putrefaction. Pasteur proved that these processes were evoked by minute living organisms—bacteria. On the basis of Pasteur's works the British surgeon Lister concluded that the purulence of wounds was also caused by. bacteria which found their way into the wounds from the air. To pro­tect the wounds from the penetration of bacteria or to destroy these bacte­ria after their penetration into the wounds Lister began to irrigate the wounds with a solution of carbolic acid and to treat the instruments and dressing material to be used in the operations with the same solution.

The method elaborated by Lister was given the name of.antiseptic. This method gave fine results.

During the years that followed scientists found that to protect the wounds from infection it was enough to treat all objects to be handled and used during an operation with a physical agent namely, heat. This new method of disinfection was given the name of asepsis.

The antiseptic and aseptic methods of treating wounds revolutionised surgery and almost completely eliminated the danger of infecting wounds to be operated on.
