EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in medical history - the first use of arterial ligature by French surgeon Ambroise Paré after a battlefield amputation. The scene takes us back to the 16th century, during the Renaissance period, where warfare was rampant and soldiers faced devastating injuries. In this print, we see Paré surrounded by his fellow army men on a chaotic battlefield. Despite the grim circumstances, Paré's expertise shines through as he diligently performs an amputation on an injured soldier's leg. This groundbreaking technique invented by Paré involved tying off or ligating arteries to control bleeding and prevent further harm. The image captures both the bravery and innovation of Ambroise Paré as he revolutionized medicine in times of war. It serves as a testament to his commitment to saving lives amidst chaos and destruction. As we observe this historical artwork, it is impossible not to feel admiration for those who fought bravely on these battlefields while also appreciating the advancements made in medical science that continue to shape our world today.
