Abstract
The first time the abdomen was opened at an elective operation, the pathology excised and made a smooth recovery was not, as you might guess, performed in some famous university hospital in the British Isles or mainland Europe about a hundred years ago, but in a private house in the backwoods of Kentucky in 1807, and the story is a fascinating one.
