Abstract:
Operating tables evolved in several stages. The most dynamic period was situated between 1860 and 1920: the surgeons of numerous countries were conscious of the necessity of specific tables for surgery. Introduction of anaesthesia in 1846 and asepsis in 1870 have strongly allowed this development.
