The 18th century represents a transitional period in evolution of surgery and burn treatment, a time just before major advances such as asepsis, burn excision and skin grafting, were to revolutionise surgical practice. The medical minds of this era first began to question the centuries of dogma and speculation that were at the heart of medicine.
