  • Title: Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov (1810-1881): A pioneering Russian surgeon and medical scientist.
    Author: Hendriks IF, Bovill JG, van Luijt PA, Hogendoorn PC.
    Journal: J Med Biogr; 2018 Feb; 26(1):10-22. PubMed ID: 26956700.
    Abstract:
    Nikolay Pirogov qualified as a physician from Moscow University in 1828 and then studied surgery and anatomy at University of Dorpat. He developed new surgical techniques, including the eponymous osteoplastic foot amputation. His application of scientifically based techniques extended surgery from a craft to a science. During the Crimean War he initiated the deployment of women as nurses and used triage for dealing with mass casualties. His textbook on field surgery became the standard reference on the subject and his principles remained virtually unchanged until the Second World War. Pirogov died on 5 December 1881 at his estate in Vishnya.
