Pre-Industrial Surgeries

5:30 that is incorrect. Atleast in European sources these Operation do seem to have been relatively common and successful and having a positive impact how minor that may be.

Also I wish you had mentionend the (incredibly common and also often dangerous) stone cutters and for everyone who doesn’t know yeah it’s about removing kidney stones

honestly if you've ever had migraines as frequently as i have you'll realise that trepanning actually seems like a reasonable solution

For that nose surgery, sometimes instead of taking skin from your forehead, they'd take the skin from your arm, and you'd have to walk around with your arm bound to your face for however long it took to permanently attach! Then, when the flap of skin had developed it's own blood supply, they'd separate your arm from your face in a separate, more minor surgery!

Anybody posted any of these on liveleak yet?

Yes i must watch this while i eat

Watching this made me very grateful for what we have nowadays 😂❤ love this vid

suction ones older than 10th century, Galen in ancient Greece was doing it

5:32 you forgot the fact that 80% of patients died shortly after the operation due to infection

Every time I have a migraine I think about carving a hole into my skull, they might of been onto something

Not even gonna lie? I assume they cracked your head open to relieve your headache. Sounds crazy but headaches feel like pressure and pressure needs to escape right? So with their early “knowledge” what better way to deal with chronic headaches than to make a hole for the pressure to escape.

The Susruta guy from India do same as surgeons do today…

@4:55 Dr. Glaucomflecken would be like "Oh no! Jonathan, help!"

0:10 amen to that, i say as i keel over in my chair face first onto the ground

So we've always had the capacity to just sit down and talk about stuff, but we first start physically opening
each others' heads and have to wait until a guy almost named "Fraud" comes along to get interested
in finding out what's going on inside there the other way? We might be anti social just in general,
or it was just that any king did not want to admit he got REALLY exited about thoughts of pink ponies to anyone.

I just thought the hole skulls were just headache sufferers. There are many times when I thought about caving my skull in with various paraphernalia in my close proximity. The pain of the head hole will definitely dull the pain of the headache.

I’m currently studying biology and pre-medicine with hopes to be a surgeon, and I keep coming back to this video. It’s just awesome

Guess what guys. Trepanning is still used in modern medicine, to relieve pressure from hematomas (although most people call it a craniotomy). Sometimes neurosurgery is literally just drilling a hole into a person's skull.

What do you MEAN this is 7 years old
