In this episode, we’ll explore the contributions of Ambroise Paré, a 16th-century barber surgeon and army surgeon who transformed surgical practices. We’ll discuss his innovative treatment for gunshot wounds, moving from boiling oil to a more effective cream. Paré also pioneered the use of ligatures in amputations, providing a less painful alternative to cauterisation, despite the risk of infection. Additionally, he designed prosthetic limbs to improve patients' lives. His methods were compiled in "Works on Surgery," published in 1575, which became influential across Europe. Join us as we delve into Paré's enduring legacy in the field of surgery.
