| Summary: | Doctor Vojislav Subotić was born in Novi Sad in 1859. He was a leading surgeon in Serbia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is known for inventing a splint for immobilizing the fractured femur and introducing innovations in ligating blood vessels. Surgeon Subotić successfully performed surgeries at a time when modern medical technological advances such as endotracheal anesthesia, parenteral rehydration, blood transfusion, and antibiotics did not exist. His feats were heroic as he managed to save patients' lives and treat various diseases and injuries using limited resources and knowledge available at that time. His courage, skill, and dedication to medicine made him an exceptional surgeon whose operations often meant life-saving interventions. He published a large number of papers in the fields of abdominal surgery, urology, and orthopedics. |
