	William Cheselden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Cheselden (October 19, 1688 - April 10, 1752) was an English surgeon and teacher of anatomy and surgery, who was influential in establishing surgery as a scientific medical profession.
		Cheselden is famous for the invention of the lateral lithotomy approach to remove bladder stones, which he first performed in 1727 and which had a short duration (minutes instead of hours) and a low mortality rate (less than 10%).

		William Cheselden, a quick and precise surgeon who could remove bladder stones in less than one minute, was instrumental in raising surgery to a profession.
		Cheselden also was a significant educator on the early teachings of anatomy, and served as court physician to Queen Caroline.
		Cheselden was appointed physician to the Court of Queen Caroline in 1727, but appears to have somehow fallen from royal favor during the following decade when the Queen died in 1737 of a strangulated umbilical hernia and was not consulted.

	William Cheselden
		William Cheselden deserves far more recognition for his studies than is apparently given.
		William learned well and by 1711 he had already earned the title of a lecturer in anatomy.
		Not only was William able to perform this operation in as little as 54 seconds, he invented a technique (involving a lateral rather than a superpubic approach,) which eventually became adopted by surgeons throughout Europe!

	Cheselden's 1740 presentation of data on age-specific mortality after lithotomy
		If the trend in mortality rates had increased somewhat, Cheselden believed that this was because in the later series the operation being sought by "even the most aged and most miserable cases expected to be saved by it".
		Cheselden's report has been included in the James Lind Library because it is an early example of a recognition of the need, in trying to make fair assessments of medical treatments, to take account of the age distribution of patients receiving treatment, when age may influence treatment outcome.
		In spite of the fact that this passage in Cheselden's Anatomy was republished unaltered long after his death (for example, a 13th edition was published in 1792), crude (overall) mortality figures after lithotomy continued to be presented as a measure of the success of the operation well into the 19th century.

	Molyneux's Problem
		In his account, Cheselden noted that when the boy was first able to see, he did not know the shape of a thing and could not recognize one thing from another, regardless of how different in shape or magnitude they were.
		Whereas Cheselden had only noticed what his patient observed in more or less natural circumstances, later ophthalmologists performed experiments which showed whether their patients were able to see form, size, distance, etc. Some, such as Franz and Nunneley, were especially interested in Molyneux's problem as such, and performed experiments with the prescribed globe and cube.

	Echoes of the resurrection men
		William Cheselden was born on October 19, 1688 at Somerby, near Burrow-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire.
		He most likely apprenticed as a surgeon in Leicester in his early youth, but by 1703 he was a pupil of the noted anatomist William Cowper in London, and about the same time was apprenticed as a surgeon at St. Thomas's Hospital.
		The work, which was most likely printed for Cheselden by William Bowyer, was unfortunately a financial failure, as his bid for subscribers was met "with little success," which was the case with so many large anatomical atlases of the period.

		William was well pleased with the marriage, bestowed on the wife a portion of the old Crown property in Ireland, and created the husband a peer of Scotland by the title of Earl of Orkney.
		William's answer was that he had thought himself bound to reward out of the forfeited property those who had served him well, and especially those who had borne a principal part in the reduction of Ireland.

		Cheselden, 18th century surgeon and anatomist, is regarded as one of the greatest British surgeons.
		He was one of the last wardens of the Barber-Surgeons' Company, immediately before the separation of the surgeons and barbers, which took place in 1744-1745.
		Cowper had a considerable surgical practice, and his many publications and papers prove that his attainments in pathology and comparative anatomy were as respectable as his knowledge of human anatomy and practical surgery.

		In 1727, William Cheselden (1688-1752), English surgeon and anatomist, invented the lateral technique of lithotomy, which is still used today.
		This work explains Cheselden's earlier method of suprapubic lithotomy and reprints descriptions of his predecessors' operations, including the basic principles laid out by François Rousset (1535-1590?), in his work on caesarian sections, Traitte nouveau de Physterotomotokie, ou enfantement caesarien (Paris: Denys du Val, 1581).
