How has transplant surgery developed since the 1800's?
It became better =) Pain, Infection and Blood Loss were all improved on. (In that order) During the 1850s to roughly 1870 there was a high increase in deaths after operations because the use of anaesthetics led to surgeons attempting more risky procedures. However, because infection and blood loss had not been improved, this led to more deaths. Operations used to be done extremely quickly (a lot were done within 30 seconds) with a maximum of 20-30 minutes because otherwise the patient would lose to much blood. The development of catgut by Joseph Lister meant that wounds could be tied without the problem of infection. Overall, the reason that surgery improved was because Pain, Infection and Blood Loss all developed greatly.

How semmelweis work affected hospital practice?
Semmelwies was a doctor in the mid 1850's. He realized through observation that medical students were going straight from surgery to delivering a child, these mothers quite often died due to childbed fever, which he was sure was spread from the corpses to them by the doctors. He introduced a new rule in his hospital, that all doctors had to wash their hands with chlorine. The number of deaths dropped rapidly, he presented his ideas to other doctors and very slowly his idea was accepted, which is why, everybody must wash their hands with ethanol before entering a hospital and doctors tuck in their ties so that no disease cvan be carried on that, and women tie their hair back.....
