Military surgical practice and the advent of gunpowder weaponry (1990)

unapi

Description In 1563 French military surgeon Ambroise Paré corrected the tradition of treating gunshot wounds with cauterization. Although it has been believed that such a tradition was formed and developed during the late Middle Ages, the present article shows instead that “late medieval surgeons who treated gunshot wounds did so in a manner not unlike their treatment of non-gunshot wounds, without cauterization.”
