Framed Print of Lithotomy, 1707
An 18th century engraving of a lithotomy operation being performed on a patient as a number of men hold him down. A lithotomy consists of making an incision into a duct or organ, especially the bladder, for the removal of a stone (calculus). These stones are usually comprised of crystalline mineral salts held together by sticky organic matter. Surgery before the discovery of effective anesthetics and antiseptics was painful and risky. The accepted medical practice was for surgeons to complete their work as quickly as physically possible. However, post-operative infection often killed patients.
