Introduced antiseptic surgery using carbolic acid and cut post-operative deaths dramatically, against considerable resistance from colleagues who did not believe in germs.
Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister was an English surgeon, medical scientist, experimental pathologist and pioneer of antiseptic surgery and preventive healthcare. Lister revolutionised the craft of surgery by the use of close anatomical observation, in the same manner that John Hunter revolutionised the science of surgery.
