Surgery and The First World War

"All wars will stimulate medical research, which is sad, but true" (Freemon). First World War brought surgery to an unprecedented level through new discoveries and treatments. However, it is a struggle to solve the terrible damage the soldiers have received. Many soldiers died in reconstructive surgery, cutting and other experimental attempts in surgery, but these experiments improved state and advanced drugs. Meanwhile, surgery has been increasingly successful, and we are trying to overcome the problem of killing soldiers such as infectious diseases and gangrene through new inventions on site such as transfusion and infertility.

Harold Gillies and Archibald McIndoe played an important role in the use of reconstructive surgery. In the First World War, Harold Giries established an orthopedic operating room at the battle of Somme and treated more than 2,000 men. In World War II, Gillis' assistant, Archibald McIndoe, developed a better technique. This is because thousands of pilots need to burn aviation fuel. Drug development affects changes in surgery, as there is no theory, there is no theory, there is no action to take action. Anesthesia is one of the most famous anesthetics, it is the first method of treating a patient and does not cause pain during surgery. Ether and chloroform are the earliest anesthetics and they have side effects but they still make surgery easier as surgeons do not have to deal with struggling patients. Cururea is another anesthetic that is very useful during surgery

Modern surgery was born in the First World War, and private hospitals and military hospitals served as experimental medical intervention places. Millions of veterans survived the war, but they were still inconvenient, inconvenient, and ugly. These are so-called "broken faces" and the development of their skin grafts often alleviates their plight. After discovering that blood coagulation was prevented in 1914, blood banks were developed. Also in the First World War, physicians began to study emotions rather than the physical pressure of war. Shell shock and traumatic shock were confirmed as common symptoms. But despite these insights and myriad victims in the Second World War, it was not until the Vietnam War result that this situation was officially considered post-traumatic stress disorder. This has also been observed in troops serving Iraq and Afghanistan and is often cited as a cause of shooting incidents in the United States.
