title="Methods of wound dressing by Jan Mikulicz-Radecki during his activity in Cracow",
abstract="Wound dressing is a field of medicine that is often underestimated by modern researchers. Due to the use of a sterile operating field, antiseptics and antibiotic therapy, the fear of infections – common hundreds of years ago – has receded into the background. The principles that allow modern surgeons such comfort have been refined over the centuries by medical pioneers. One of them was one of the most famous doctors: Jan Mikulicz-Radecki, whose nationality is disputed till today. Besides merits such as the construction of a gastroscope, chambers for thoracic surgery or describing surgery techniques, he was also famous for techniques of antiseptic wound dressing. This article describes the methods used in the treatment of wounds in the Surgical Clinic in Cracow during the management by Jan Mikulicz-Radecki. It focuses on antiseptics such as: carbol, sublimate and the most commonly used iodoform. It also compares the methods used in other European centers.",
