| Titolo: | Appendicitis, appendectomy and the surgeon / Dale C. Smith. |
| Abstract: | 'Appendicitis and its operative treatment serve as a window on the emergence of surgical therapy as the twentieth century began. In 1890 only a few practitioners saw appendicitis as an exclusively surgical disease to be managed by an experienced surgeon, with an appropriate operation as the most likely therapy. In 1920 their position was dominant, both within the American medical profession and among the general public, and the experience with appendicitis would be used in other debates to both explain and campaign for the validity of surgical judgement and the wider understanding of surgical disease.' |
