Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COCK, EDWARD (1805-1892) , British surgeon, was born in 18o5. He was a
nephew
  of Sir
Astley
  Cooper, and through him became at an early age a member of the staff of the
Borough
 
hospital
 
    See Also:
in London, where he worked in the dissecting room for thirteen years. Afterwards he became in 1838 assistant surgeon at Guy's, where from 1849 to 1871 he was surgeon, and from 1871 to 1892 consulting surgeon. He rose to be president of the College of Surgeons in 1869. He was an excellent anatomist, a bold operator, and a clear and incisive writer, and though in lecturing he was afflicted with a stutter, he frequently utilized it with humorous effect and emphasis. From 1843 to 1849 he was editor of Guy's
Hospital
 
    See Also:
Reports, which contain many of his papers, particularly on stricture of the urethra, puncture of the bladder, injuries to the head, and
hernia
 . He was the first
English
  surgeon to perform pharyngotomy with success, and also one of the first to succeed in trephining for middle meningeal
haemorrhage
 ; but the operation by which his name is known is that of opening the urethra through the perinaeum (see Guy's Hospital Reports, 1866). He died at Kingston in 1892.
