Surgical technique of Joseph Lister
10:08 PM
Lister moved from Scotland to King's College Hospital, in London, and became the second man in England to operate on a brain tumor. He also developed a method of repairing kneecaps with metal wire and improved the technique of mastectomy.
His discoveries were greatly praised and in 1883 he was created a Baronet, of Park Crescent in the Parish of St Marylebone in the County of Middlesex.[8] In 1897 he was further honoured when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Lister, of Lyme Regis in the County of Dorset.
He also became one of the twelve original members of the Order of Merit and a Privy Councillor in the Coronation Honours in 1902.
Among his students at King's College London was Robert Hamilton Russell, who later moved to Australia.
