Halsted, Cushing and Young operating C014 / 1090

Halsted, Cushing and Young operating. Pioneering American surgeons William Halsted (1852-1922), Harvey Cushing (1869-1939) and Hugh Hampton Young (1897-1941) operating on a patient at John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, USA, with physicians and students watching. Halsted was one of the four founding physicians of John Hopkins Hospital, which opened in 1889. He introduced aseptic technique and the Halstedian approach to surgery, which emphasised the careful handling of human tissue, control of bleeding and anatomically accurate dissection and suturing of tissue. Cushing was a skilful brain surgeon who pioneered several important techniques, including the control of blood pressure during surgery. Young specialised in genito-urinary surgery, performing the first surgery for the treatment of prostate cancer. Photographed circa 1903-1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of modern surgery. Pioneering American surgeons William Halsted, Harvey Cushing, and Hugh Hampton Young are seen operating on a patient at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, USA. The year is circa 1903-1904. William Halsted, one of the founding physicians of John Hopkins Hospital, revolutionized surgical techniques by introducing aseptic technique and his meticulous approach to surgery. His emphasis on careful tissue handling, bleeding control, and anatomically accurate dissection transformed the field. Harvey Cushing, renowned for his expertise in brain surgery, made significant contributions to medical science during this era. He pioneered various techniques including blood pressure control during surgeries. Hugh Hampton Young specialized in genito-urinary surgery and performed groundbreaking procedures such as the first-ever prostate cancer treatment. In this historical image filled with doctors and students observing intently from around the operating theatre, we witness not only these exceptional surgeons but also glimpse into an era when medical knowledge was expanding rapidly. The photograph serves as a testament to their pioneering spirit and dedication to advancing medicine. It stands as a reminder of their invaluable contributions that continue to shape surgical practices today.
