Belly-Rippers, Surgical Innovation and the Ovariotomy Controversy - Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History
Sally Frampton
This open access book looks at the dramatic history of ovariotomy, an operation to remove ovarian tumours first practiced in the early nineteenth century. Ovariotomy soon occupied a complex position within medicine and society, as an operation which symbolised surgical progress, while also remaining at the boundaries of ethical acceptability.
