The history of surgery dates back to ancient civilizations, with evidence of trepanation (drilling holes in the skull) found in Neolithic remains. Ancient Egyptians (3000 BCE) performed basic surgeries, documented in the Edwin Smith Papyrus. In India, Sushruta (600 BCE), the "Father of Surgery," pioneered techniques like rhinoplasty and cataract surgery. Greek and Roman physicians, including Hippocrates and Galen, advanced surgical knowledge. The Middle Ages saw limited progress, but the Renaissance revived interest with anatomists like Vesalius. Modern surgery emerged in the 19th century with anesthesia (1846) and antiseptic techniques (1867), revolutionizing safety and success rates. Today, surgery continues to evolve with minimally invasive and robotic technologies.
