With no effective anesthetics or antiseptics, surgery prior to the late 19th century was brutal to endure and often ended in a death sentence for even the most minor of procedures. The advent of operating theatres helped build the bridge between primitive medicine and the modern operating room we know today. While certainly terrifying for the patient or the average spectator, operating theatres played an essential role in the evolution of surgery, offering a space where doctors and medical students could witness the greatest surgeons of their time hone their craft and better the field through their triumphs and tragedies.
