Raktažodžiai:
In 1880, patients suffering from vascular disease faced amputation -- or death. By 1960, a suite of revolutionary techniques and technologies empowered surgeons to remedy aneurysms, mend damaged vessels, and treat arteries clogged with cholesterol, saving the lives and limbs of patients around the world.

Tracking this remarkable transformation, Of Life and Limb: Surgical Repair of the Arteries in War and Peace, 1880-1960 reveals how social, technological, institutional, and military dynamics interplay to catalyze modern surgical innovation. Author Justin Barr examines each of these phenomena through the complementary perspectives of academic historian and clinical surgeon, marshaling extensive research and incisive analysis into a broadly applicable model that helps frame, illuminate, and forecast change in surgery.

Justin Barr received his PhD in History from Yale University and his MD from the University of Virginia. He is currently in residency for general surgery at Duke University.

Examining the history of arterial repair, Of Life and Limb investigates the process of surgical innovation by exploring the social, technological, institutional, and martial dynamics shaping the introduction and adoption of a new operation.

Recenzijos

This is an excellent book, thoroughly researched and thoughtfully written. Building on important previous work, it sets a new standard for histories of surgical innovation and the diffusion of surgical knowledge. -- Peter J. Kernahan, University of Minnesota Justin Barr has written a valuable history of medical innovation. . . . Of Life and Limb moves fluidly across different scales of analysis, from surgeons' skill with needle and thread to the rising tide of urban violence. It provides great insight into both the mindset of surgeons and the contexts that influence their work. It should be widely read and taught by historians and surgeons. -- David S. Jones * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *
