The history of medicine and surgery is well documented, but this volume offers the first specific exploration of the treatment of and attitudes towards children with injuries and birth defects through the ages. Popular thought holds that children in ancient times with birth defects faced a short life of abandonment or neglect. Examination of written records from ancient Egypt, India, Greece, and Islam, however, shows that physicians and surgeons have attempted to find remedies to cure ailing youths from the beginning of recorded medical history. These essays document the origins of children's surgery, chronicle the history of children's surgery into modern times, and explore the treatment of the most common visceral birth defects. With contributing authors offering perspectives from a variety of cultures, this extraordinary collection will interest not only medical professionals, but also historians and others in the child care field.

If you are looking for the definitive reference on the history of pediatric surgery this is it. I purchased this book because I was researching the history of various techniques used in pediatric surgery. I found what I was looking for and so much more. This is a book written with soul that includes exquisite details and personal insights from Dr. Raffensperger and others. This book fills the gap between books on the history of adult surgery and pediatric surgery textbooks. Where else are you going to find detailed exploration of topics such as "Clubfoot Throughout the Ages," "Pediatric Surgery in the Age of Lister," and "Pediatric Surgery in Ancient India?" I highly recommend this colorful history of pediatric surgery for anyone who has an interest in the history of medicine, surgery and particularly, the rich and innovative history of pediatric surgery.
