DESCRIPTION

Discover the dramatic evolution of surgery—from ancient bone saws to robotic arms and augmented reality.

Surgery Breakthroughs explores the fascinating history and future of surgical innovation. Created in collaboration with Mayo Clinic cardiac surgeon Elizabeth Stephens, M.D., Ph.D., this book introduces readers to the people and discoveries that have transformed surgery into a precise and powerful medical science. From the early days of surgery to today’s high-tech, life-saving techniques, readers will learn about:

  • The invention of anesthesia and antiseptic practices
  • The development of heart surgery and the heart-lung bypass machine
  • Minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and cardiac catheterization
  • Robotic surgery and the da Vinci system
  • Gamma Knife radiosurgery and AR-assisted spinal procedures
This book empowers young readers to understand how science, technology, and compassion come together to save lives.

With trusted expertise from Mayo Clinic, the Edge of Medicine series sets out to inspire and educate the next generation of young scientists by highlighting the medical breakthroughs of a diverse range of scientists and researchers.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education and Mayo Clinic.
