EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a moment in medical history from the late 19th century, showing a surgeon using a laryngoscope to aid in the removal of a polyp from the throat. The image is taken from "Les Grands Maux et les Grands Remedes" (The Principal Illnesses and Their Remedies) by Jules Rengade, published in Paris around 1890. The laryngoscope was a revolutionary instrument invented in 1854 by Spanish singing teacher Manuel Garcia for studying the vocal cords. It consisted of a small mirror on a long metal handle, which allowed doctors to see inside the throat more clearly. In 1858, Ludwig Turck and Johann Czermak further developed this tool, with Czermak creating a headband mirror to provide additional light for better visibility during procedures. This historical photograph not only showcases early advancements in medical technology but also highlights the dedication and innovation of healthcare professionals striving to improve patient care. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of surgical techniques and equipment since the late 19th century.
