Ancient Greek surgery is older than we thought __ "Anagnostis Aggelarakis has a very interesting piece in Archaeology Magazine detailing his study of a skull from the Greek colony of Abdera. The woman had received a blow by a missile to the back of the head which fractured her skull, but a type of surgery that is first described in the Hippocratic corpus, dating from the 5th-4th centuries BC, was able to save her life. The woman was thus able to live for another twenty years." an interesting article. - From dienekes.blogspot.com - http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2006/02/ancient-greek-surgery-is-older-than-we.html
