Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HILTON, JOHN (18041878) , British surgeon, was born at Castle Hedingham, in
Essex
 , in 1804. He entered Guy's
Hospital
 
    See Also:
in 1824. He was appointed demonstrator of anatomy in 1828, assistant-surgeon in 1845, surgeon 1849. In 1867 he was president of the Royal College of Surgeons, of which he became member in 1827 and fellow in 1843, and he also delivered the Hunterian oration in 1867. As
Arris
  and
Gale
  professor (18591862) he delivered a course of lectures on " Rest and Pain," which have become classics. He was also surgeon-extraordinary to Queen Victoria. Hilton was the greatest anatomist of his time, and was nick named " Anatomical John, It was he who, with Joseph Towne the artist, enriched Guy's
Hospital
 
    See Also:
with its unique collection of models. In his grasp of the structure and functions of the brain and
spinal cord he was far in advance of his contemporaries. As an operator he was more cautious than brilliant. This was doubtless due partly to his living in the pre-anaesthetics period, and partly to his own consummate anatomical knowledge, as is indicated by the method for opening deep abscesses which is known by his name. But he could be bold when necessary; he was the first to reduce a
case
  of obturator
hernia
  by abdominal
section
 , and one of the first to practise lumbar colostomy. He died at Clapham on the 14th of September 1878.
