To the question of skull trepa nation. Historical excursion
The article presents information highlighting some moments of the evolution of surgical instruments used to perform skull trepanation from ancient times up to the Modern Age (late 19th century), when the period of skull surgery ended and a new surgical specialty, neurosurgery, emerged. Almost all of these instruments went out of use with the develop ment of microsurgery, but the study of the history of medicine and understanding of the stages of its development is one of the fundamental bases in the formation of the worldview of any competent modern doctor.
