After studying medicine at the University of London, he became a prominent surgeon and professor in Scotland and later at Kings College Hospital in London. Prior to Listers innovations, surgical wounds were often left untreated, leading to prolonged healing, severe scarring, and a high risk of amputation or death from infection. His pioneering techniques allowed for the closure of wounds with sutures, significantly improving recovery times and reducing complications. Lister’s expertise was so valued that he was called back from retirement in 1896 to assist with King Edward VII’s appendicitis operation just days before the King’s coronation, a procedure that led to the King praising Lister for his swift recovery. Lister passed away in 1912, leaving a lasting legacy in the medical field.
