| Before the approach informed by good knowledge of asepsis, the operating table was more dangerous than a battlefield...
Some dates :
- 1846: Ignas SEMMELWEIS (Vienna – Austria)
- 1858: Louis PASTEUR (Dole – France)
- 1865: Joseph LISTER (Glasgow – Scotland).
Those three scholars proved the existence of microorganisms which led... much later to the notion of asepsis and sterilisation thus making surgery successful.
