- PLASTIC SURGERY
- SKIN GRAFTS
- during WW2 spherical skin grafts were developed to reconstruct the bodies, especially faces and hands of soldier and airmen
- skin was grown from a place on the body and transferred to the burnt, raw area while it still had blood supply.this increased the chances of skin grafts becoming successful
- skin grafter for airmen woul dhave not been successful without the sue of antibiotics(penicillin) developed by Flemming 1928. it prevented the skin grafts from becoming infected
- so antibiotics made skin grafts possible without it infection would have set in
- WAR
- focused in blood so other section like anaesthetics were delayed
- dodctrs treated soldiers I trenches so thety had a lot of pressure
- war increased experience
- explosives made new wounds with deep frsagments and clothingeteirng wound caised infecion
- using sat was the best way to deal with this beut it didn't work with serious infections as antibiotic weren't developed intill later
- GILLES set up a plastic surgery unit or the army
- he experimented with facial reconstruction
- PROSTHETIC LIMBS
- many soldiers lost limbs anew light alloy metals where used but there was a long waiting list and patiens needed training to use them properly
- 20TH +21ST C
- keyhole surgeries
- heart surgery
- transplant organs
- SCIECNE
- chemistry helped develop anaesthetics so appendix's and tumours could be removed
- listers carbolic acid spray wearing rubber gloves and using sterile catgut for ligatures helped moved towards aspetic surgery( mask gowns)
