Summary

El cirujano Arnold van de Laar recurre a su propia experiencia y conocimientos para contarnos una incisiva historia del pasado， presente y futuro de la disciplina a través de 29 operaciones célebres。

Desde el relato de cómo Albert Einstein se salvó de un aneurisma hasta la extracción de un cálculo renal que se practicó a sí mismo un herrero holandés en el siglo XVII o la operación a Juan Pablo II tras el atentado que sufrió en 1981， entre otros， Arnold van de Laar intenta dar respuesta a todo lo que sucede en el curso de una operación e indaga en los límites de la cirugía al hilo de los nuevos avances médicos。

Una mirada amena， instructiva y estremecedora sobre los procedimientos y la filosofía de quienes cortan para curar。

Verschafft einen interessanten Überblick， gut um immer mal zwischen drin ein/zwei Kapitel zu lesen

Ann Marie ，

Interesting read and at times thought provoking。 If you like a good medical read and don't mind some history go for it。 One of the most intriguing bits was how far medical history actually goes back and the kinds of procedures they were willing to attempt in ancient times。 It also made me glad， given my surgical history， that I live in a time of antibiotics and anesthesia。 Interesting read and at times thought provoking。 If you like a good medical read and don't mind some history go for it。 One of the most intriguing bits was how far medical history actually goes back and the kinds of procedures they were willing to attempt in ancient times。 It also made me glad， given my surgical history， that I live in a time of antibiotics and anesthesia。 。。。more

Dieses Buch war so unglaublich gut und spannend， das Wissen wurde in Interessante Geschichten verpackt， ich habe es genossen

Weißt du， warum der Steinschnitt， steinschnitt heißt？ Oder was es mit sissy’s Tod auf dich hat？ Auch für nicht- Mediziner glaube ich ist dieses Buch total spannend und erklärt fragen， die man sich davor noch nie gestellt hat。 Total interessant und spannend erzählt Van de Laar wie sich die Medizin entwickelt und welche Irrtümer für lange Zeit weiter praktiziert wurden。 Eine totale Empfehlung！ Nur Achtung: es wird nichts geschönt oder unausgesprochen gelassen。

This was a book that I could not seem to put down。 As I write this comment， I found it almost impossible to compile my thoughts in 2-3 main points that would serve a prospective reader well。 There is so much that I found compelling and fascinating in this novel that I feel I would do it injustice by summarizing it into a few hundred words。 Although I may be bias， there is so much to unpack between these chapters that I have found myself revisiting the book multiple times to refresh my memory sin This was a book that I could not seem to put down。 As I write this comment， I found it almost impossible to compile my thoughts in 2-3 main points that would serve a prospective reader well。 There is so much that I found compelling and fascinating in this novel that I feel I would do it injustice by summarizing it into a few hundred words。 Although I may be bias， there is so much to unpack between these chapters that I have found myself revisiting the book multiple times to refresh my memory since I finished it a week ago。 Under the Knife is a compilation of nonfiction stories told through the lens of a Dutch surgeon， Arnold Van de Laar。 One of the best parts of the book is its unconventional storytelling。 Say what you will about Van de Laar as a writer。 His ability to engage the reader through storytelling and potent imagery is what makes this novel all the better。 Obviously， if you do not find surgery interesting， this book is not for you。 And， at times， Van de Laar can go overboard with descriptive imagery of the pains some unfortunate persons had to endure in a time before modern surgery。 He ignores no detail when describing the mechanics of an umbilical hernia， the direness of developing gas gangrene， or the pain endured by those suffering with bladder stones the size of large eggs。 However， I find that to be a product of his profession and the frankness a surgeon requires and develops。 I believe how Van de Laar writes speaks more to how we shield ourselves from humanity’s more gorey， unpleasant side than Van de Laar himself。 If you can stomach the imagery， I can’t recommend this book enough。 At the least， it offers perspective on how lucky we are today to live in the time research-based modern medicine。 。。。more

Being medically intrigued， I thought this would be an interesting read。 And it was – in between the excessively crude descriptions that I do believe the author took a twisted pleasure in。 A majority of the operations were those that took place in the nether regions， and of course descriptions of anatomy， abnormalities， symptoms， and bodily function humor ensued。 I was not amused。 The passages that were on other surgeries， and the tidbits of medical trivia， I did enjoy， but not enough to actually Being medically intrigued， I thought this would be an interesting read。 And it was – in between the excessively crude descriptions that I do believe the author took a twisted pleasure in。 A majority of the operations were those that took place in the nether regions， and of course descriptions of anatomy， abnormalities， symptoms， and bodily function humor ensued。 I was not amused。 The passages that were on other surgeries， and the tidbits of medical trivia， I did enjoy， but not enough to actually recommend the book。 。。。more

Un libro super interessante che tiene attaccati una pagina dopo l’altra。 Gli interventi sono molto interessanti e raccontati con una prosa accattivante e un linguaggio semplice e scorrevole。 I termini chirurgici sono utilizzati con pertinenza - senza sfociare in una tecnicità che un lettore non pratico non può comprendere - e le operazioni spiegate passo passo。 Ogni dettaglio viene chiarito in modo semplice e veramente comprensibile， con aggiunta di box informativi sull’argomento。 Mi è piaciuto， Un libro super interessante che tiene attaccati una pagina dopo l’altra。 Gli interventi sono molto interessanti e raccontati con una prosa accattivante e un linguaggio semplice e scorrevole。 I termini chirurgici sono utilizzati con pertinenza - senza sfociare in una tecnicità che un lettore non pratico non può comprendere - e le operazioni spiegate passo passo。 Ogni dettaglio viene chiarito in modo semplice e veramente comprensibile， con aggiunta di box informativi sull’argomento。 Mi è piaciuto， soprattutto perché non si ha modo di approfondire l’ambito medico e chirurgico se non superficialmente o in maniera troppo specifica， mentre in questo libro si ha la possibilità di toccare con mano tutte le diverse operazioni mediche， dalla cura del paziente e la sua diagnosi， all’operazioni in sè， fino al recupero post operatorio。 Scritto con grande cura e particolare attenzione a chi non conosce la materia。 Lo consiglio moltissimo a chi è appassionato ma non ha mai trovato testi non scientifici per approfondire l’argomento; non so se sia adatto a un medico o studente。 。。。more

"Под ножа" е история на хирургията в 28 забележителни операции。 Без никакво замисляне давам оценка 5 от 5 и съм сигурен， че книгата ще бъде полезна на всеки лекар， независимо от неговата специалност и интереси。Нидерландският писател и хирург Арнолд ван де Лаар ни повежда в забележително пътуване в медицинската история。 Първата глава е посветена на лекар， който сам се оперира и изважда камък от пикочния си мехур。 Действието се развива в 16-ти век - без анестезия， без асептика， без помощен екип， с "Под ножа" е история на хирургията в 28 забележителни операции。 Без никакво замисляне давам оценка 5 от 5 и съм сигурен， че книгата ще бъде полезна на всеки лекар， независимо от неговата специалност и интереси。Нидерландският писател и хирург Арнолд ван де Лаар ни повежда в забележително пътуване в медицинската история。 Първата глава е посветена на лекар， който сам се оперира и изважда камък от пикочния си мехур。 Действието се развива в 16-ти век - без анестезия， без асептика， без помощен екип， само със скалпел。 Следват увлекателни описания на причините и резултатите от операциите на известни личности - Алберт Айнщайн （аневризма на коремната аорта）， Ерик Вайс （по-известен като Хари Худини - перитонит）， Джон Кенеди （огнестрелна рана） и убиецът му Лий Харви Осуалд （огнестрелна рана）， папа Йоан Павел Втори （огнестрелна рана）， Луи XIV （анална фистула）， Ленин （инсулт）。 Специално внимание е отделено на водещите хирурзи за своето време - американците Уилям Халстед， Харви Кушинг и Майкъл ДеБейки， австриецът Теодор Билрот， французинът Жул Емил Пеан。Може би най-интересната история за мен беше свързана с двама музиканти， които губят живота си по сходен начин。 Те отказват ампутация на палеца на крака си。 Жан Батист Люли е водещ композитор от епохата на барока и част от най-близкото обкръжение на краля слънце Луи XIV。 Той влиза в ролята на диригент при изпълнение на собствените си произведения，。 През 17-ти век диригентската палка всъщност е масивен скиптър。 Композиторът по невнимание изпуска тежкия предмет върху палеца на крака си， а раната се инфектира。 Единственото лечение по онова време е ампутация。 Жан Батист Люли отказва операцията， защото след нея ще загуби привилегирования си пост в кралския двор。 Не след дълго целият крак е обхванат от гангрена， което тогава е било смъртна присъда。 Далеч по-познатият на широката публика Боб Марли умира по сходен начин， защото отказва ампутация на палеца на крака， където под нокътя се развива агресивен кожен тумор - малигнен меланом。 Боб Марли ни напуска млад заради грешния си избор， наложен от неговата религия - растафарианство。 Понякога религията убива。Прочетете книгата и ще знаете повече за историята на медицината от много лекари。 。。。more

I really wanted to love this book。 Instead I found it redundant and without structure。 Arnold van de Laar also misses some operations that I feel would be important。 Heart transplant， caesareans， ect。

A riveting collection of stories about notable surgeries， ancient and modern。

I listened to Under the Knife on audiobook。 The book contains lots of info - but the stories are very interesting。 They made me want to research several historical figures！ I’m trying to bump up my non-fiction reading and this was a pleasant surprise！

Loved this book。 The story of ‘surgery’ through the ages and told by a surgeon who recalls his favourite antidotes。 It’s not a book for the squeamish but it’s a wonderful book if you want to learn。 Brilliant narration too！

Super interesting book。 I’ll almost certainly forget +90% of the clinical jargon used， but it’s written in a way that keeps the reader engaged throughout。 Plus all the historical examples are fascinating。 I especially appreciated how the case studies spanned several different eras from ancient to modern。 Plus each chapter being different cases made it easy to pick up/put down without getting lost。 Note to a potential reader， this book can be a little graphic。 It doesn’t pull back from the intima Super interesting book。 I’ll almost certainly forget +90% of the clinical jargon used， but it’s written in a way that keeps the reader engaged throughout。 Plus all the historical examples are fascinating。 I especially appreciated how the case studies spanned several different eras from ancient to modern。 Plus each chapter being different cases made it easy to pick up/put down without getting lost。 Note to a potential reader， this book can be a little graphic。 It doesn’t pull back from the intimate details of each surgery。 But in the clinical contexts， it’s all informative rather than grotesque。 Definitely recommend this book。 。。。more

This book will go down as one of the best books in the medical genre that I have listened to in a long time。 The author teaches you so much about surgery in general but also does such an incredible job of telling you the stories of these people and their lives and the era in which they were in。 There is so much good content into woven that it is an impossible book to put down。 I got through it in so little time and I would definitely listen to it again just for fun。 But I think as a physician it This book will go down as one of the best books in the medical genre that I have listened to in a long time。 The author teaches you so much about surgery in general but also does such an incredible job of telling you the stories of these people and their lives and the era in which they were in。 There is so much good content into woven that it is an impossible book to put down。 I got through it in so little time and I would definitely listen to it again just for fun。 But I think as a physician it's so interesting to understand how surgery came about and what a profession it was and how many advances we had done in the past which were then taken away and then came back in to the profession。 I had no idea about the history of surgery and some of the pioneers of surgery。 And I also didn't know about the struggles of the patients who had to go through surgery。 It this is a great book with very little fluff but absolutely entertaining all the way through。 。。。more

An easy five-star read for me。 I'd picked this audiobook up on a whim， and it was such a find。 Not only does this book describe the technicalities of each surgery， but Arnold van de Laar uses recognizable historical moments （e。g。 JKF's assassination， the death of Harry Houdini） to illustrate their cultural importance as well as their significance in the medical field。 I learned so much reading this book， and I definitely want a physical copy for my shelves。 Surprisingly， my favorite chapter cove An easy five-star read for me。 I'd picked this audiobook up on a whim， and it was such a find。 Not only does this book describe the technicalities of each surgery， but Arnold van de Laar uses recognizable historical moments （e。g。 JKF's assassination， the death of Harry Houdini） to illustrate their cultural importance as well as their significance in the medical field。 I learned so much reading this book， and I definitely want a physical copy for my shelves。 Surprisingly， my favorite chapter covered the King Louis XIV and his anal fistulas。。。SO many sociohistorical tidbits in this chapter。Something to note: as you may have already guessed， this book involves vivid description of surgical procedures that involve blood。 。。。more

I'm bewildered by how many people have given this book five stars。 I'm very interested in medical history and there were some stories I hadn't heard before which were of interest， but the prose was awful。 As an English teacher I can only imagine how a chef must feel when people are talking how great food from McDonald's is。 I'm bewildered by how many people have given this book five stars。 I'm very interested in medical history and there were some stories I hadn't heard before which were of interest， but the prose was awful。 As an English teacher I can only imagine how a chef must feel when people are talking how great food from McDonald's is。 。。。more
