Summary

Description

Image of an early ether operation, misidentified in the Congressional Library catalog as a "re-enactment" of the historic Abbott surgery that took place on October 16, 1846. According to Rowley (2022), the view captures an exploratory and intervention surgery for a young Portuguese sailor's diseased fibula. Although Manuel was Townsend's patient, Dr. John Collins Warren was the lead surgeon who prosecuted the operation on July 3, 1847. Warren's case notes for the surgery are published in Volume 2 of his biography. Rowley scholarship published online [1]
