EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of medical innovation during the First World War. Taken in April 1915 at Grand-Lebrun Hospital in Bordeaux, France, the image shows renowned French surgeon, Professor Albert de Luald de Bergonie, applying an electro-magnet to extract a shell splinter from a soldier's leg during an operation. The use of an electro-magnet for surgical purposes was a groundbreaking development that revolutionized the treatment of shrapnel wounds, which were common among soldiers due to the widespread use of artillery in the war. The 21-year-old soldier, whose identity remains unknown, lies on the operating table with his leg exposed, his expression a mixture of pain and determination. Professor Bergonie, a pioneer in the field of electrosurgery, focuses intently on the task at hand, his hands steady as he applies the electro-magnet to the affected area. The magnet, imported from the ILN (Institut Lumière et Natura) in Paris, is connected to a power source, and as the current flows through it, the magnet attracts the metal splinter, allowing the surgeon to carefully remove it. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of medical professionals during a time of great adversity. The application of electro-magnet technology in surgery marked a significant advancement in the treatment of war injuries and paved the way for further advancements in electrosurgery. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and medical personnel during the First World War and the importance of medical innovation in saving lives.
