LISTON, ROBERT (1794-1847)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 780 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LISTON, ROBERT (1794-1847) , Scottish surgeon, was born on the 28th of October 1794 at Ecclesmachan, Linlithgow, where his father was parish minister. He began the study of anatomy under Dr John
Barclay
  (1758-1826) at Edinburgh in 18,o, and soon became a skilful anatomist. After eight years' study, he became a lecturer on anatomy and surgery in the Edinburgh School of
Medicine
 ; and in 1827 he was elected one of the surgeons to the Royal Infirmary. In 1835 he was chosen professor of clinical surgery in University College, London, and this
appointment
  he held until his death, which occurred in London on the 7th of December 1847.
Liston
  was a teacher more by what he did than by what he said. He taught simplicity in all operative procedures; fertile in expedients, of
great
 
nerve
  and of powerful
frame
 , he is remembered as an extraordinarily bold, skilful and rapid operator. He was the author of The Elements of Surgery (1831-1832) and
Practical
  Surgery (1837), and made several improvements in methods of amputation, and in the dressing of wounds.
