Dear Mr. Terry, We are able to tell the difference between war injuries and trepanning. War injuries usually show signs of fractures around a ragged hole, while trepanning is very symmetrical, with smoothed edges, and sometimes even done in a pattern. Trepanning is so unique in this way it’s hard to confuse it for war injuries. Trepanning was done for many reasons, some surgical (they were done to release people of headaches, hallucinations, mental illnesses), while some were done as a way to literally open oneself to the gods/become a shaman or ruler (which is why quite a few skeletons found with trepanning are wrapped very ceremonial, and treated with care). It’s an incredible history I wish more people were aware of. I highly suggest doing more research on it!

[@beyou1813]

That's really horrifyingly interesting.

[@FonVegen]

Also interestingly horrifying.

[@gokuss15]

Far cry: primal has a great example of trepanning and its uses. One of the rival tribe’s leaders has a brain disease due to his cannibalism, causing inflammation and horrible pain. The only way to relieve the pressure and pain is trepanning.

[@IAmNotYourProblem]

Hfgg ib even more horrifyingly interesting is that most people lived afterwards! They see bone regrowth around the edges of the hole. Some people believe that most people who died from trepanning didn’t actually die from the surgery, but from infection afterwards (people suspect this because there are very few unfinished holes. It’s usually round, smooth and symmetrical. Some think that even after death they continue to carve the hole, so it’s a debate). Imagine people being skilled enough to carve open a human skull with a sharpened rock, but not damage the brain underneath. Literal cave men had the steady hands of modern surgeons.

[@IAmNotYourProblem]

Josh Callejas even in today’s medicine, we “trepan”. When there is swelling or a build up of pressure/blood in the skull, they drill a hole a few cm away from the temple and release that pressure. If you’ve watched any medical drama usually there’s at least one episode where it’s done. People who lived 30,000 years ago came up with a procedure that we still use today. Amazing! I haven’t played far cry yet, even though I own the game. Maybe I’ll give it a try though. Did the guy get the disease from being a cannibal or from other people eating him? I’m curious 😅

For anyone who is still reading these comments, I wanted to share a little slice of surgery history not covered in this video. Robert Liston was Famous in his day for being one of the fastest surgeons around, which was good at the time as it limited blood loss and time in pain before the days of aenesthetics. He was a true master of surgery speed-running able to complete operations in unbelievable times such as: Removing a 45 lb tumor in 4 minutes, Amputating a leg in only 150 seconds, and other marvelous feats. Unfortunately he also has a somewhat less positive world record. He performed a surgery with a 300% mortality rate. 300%. This means that 3 times more people died than there were patients. Let me explain. He performed another leg amputation in just about 150 seconds(patient died of infection), but in his haste also chopped off the fingers of his assistant(died of infection), and was wielding the knife so wildly he sliced the coat of another skilled surgeon that was observing the surgery, who panicked and died believing he had been cut. And that is the most spectacular failure in surgery history.

[@azathoththe3rd]

I'm sorry but I'm positive that's a myth

[@Gtx-ij9ff]

That was most likely a myth. Liston was very disliked by his colleagues, since he was a big fan of modern surgical practices (such as sterilization) that ran counter to what the traditional doctors were against at the time

5:19 I don’t know if it’s been brought up yet, but I believe we can distinguish the difference between a battle wound and the surgery wound. The surgeries, if I’m not mistaken, show more precise “carvings” to make the hole... while a blow to the head with a weapon would leave behind asymmetrical marks and fractures. Hope this helps. Edit: someone beat me to it and already explained it.

[@JoshucaVA]

To answer your questions about the skull surgery, I'll share learned about this in school. The theory that was taught in class was that people would have problems in which they'd get massive amounts of pressure in their head that would be quite painful. Basically their brain would throb. And they would do this for the sake of relieving pressure. Turns out this could have been cancer? So uhhh, it wouldn't really work in curing them. But apparently it gave them genuine relief from the pressure at least.

I had to get an injury cauterized once. In the words of the doctor: "There's nothing there to stitch, but we've got to stop the bleeding." Long story short they fucked up the numbing before starting the cauterization process. The chemical cauterization was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Cutting off the chunk of my thumb leading to it needing to be cauterized was nothing in comparison. Completely shattering my collarbone years later was also nothing compared to this medical chemical burn to stop the bleeding. Anesthesia is the best medical discovery on the planet.

Trepanning is still performed today, though now it is called a craniotomy. It's is used to treat several illnesses including high intracranial pressure (ICP). ICP is caused by fluid buildup around the brain (Cerebral Edema) or swelling of the brain itself, both of which can cause the brain to become crushed inside the tight confines of the skull. Opening the skull up allows for the fluid to drain or gives the brain room to expand thereby releasing the pressure. ICP can cause numerous psychological symptoms such as confusion or psychosis which is why it is theorized early civilization may have thought trepanning was releasing "evil spirits" when it was performed successfully. Craniotomies are also used for general access to the brain for things like brain surgery. So yeah, those cavemen might not have really understood what was going on but they were pretty close to the mark all things considered.

Getting someone really drunk before performing surgery must’ve made everything much risker. I’ve been told that consuming alcohol before you get a tattoo or hair waxed leads to more bleeding (and more pain, at least in the case of ripping out hair bc it dehydrates the follicles). It’s really bad if you drink before getting a tattoo, so you probably should avoid Asprin, too. The only NSAID you can take before surgery is Tylenol bc acetaminophen doesn’t affect bleeding

[@katjosephperez8772]

Great Video. I work as a medical assistant in an eye doctors office that did cataract surgery and I did a fair bit of research about couching so for anyone interested: Couching (the word for it in my language is Starstechen) is so old that it was mentioned in the codex hammurapi, one of the oldest codes of law ever found. The Text in the Codex names the method, what the "surgeon" was to be paid for it (full price for a free man, half price for a slave) and the punishment should the procedure not work (which happened quite a lot). The method was as follows: The patient was sitting upright with someone behind him pressing the patients head against his (the other persons) chest. Then the "surgeon" would poke a needle in the eye and push the lens (which hardens up as the cataract progresses) to the bottom of the eye. They then held it there for a bit in the hope of it not re-emurging (which it did in some cases). If the "surgery" succeded (=if the patient wasn't wounded severly or the eye got infectet or he died or the lens re-emurged) then the patient would have a clear vision with a needed prescription of about +13 Dioptries. When they were given glasses with these lenses they could see somewhat fine. This procedure actually stuck around longer then you'd think with the "surgeons" becoming travelling healers who would come to towns like a circus, do a bunch of cataract couchings in a day and then leave before anyone could develope serious infections. One famous example of people having undergone couching is Johann Sebastian Bach who has it done on both eyes in the year of his death (1750) which just shows how long this "surgery" held up Sorry for the wall of text :)

Trepanning was used to relieve pressure on the brain after some kind of head injury. It's still done today if you get a bad enough concussion or bleeding on the brain or brain swelling, except now they keep the bit they cut out and put it back in later. Releasing the pressure keeps the brain from being hurt by the pressure or swelling and pressing against the skull or the brain stem.

Up to 05:00 I grew gradually more nervous that you too would miss out on the reason for trepanning as understood by modern archaeologists, as a way to reduce brain swelling following TBI, and then instant relief as you mention TBI, but then sadness as you fail to mention the connection. As an MD, I'll explain this a bit from the medical perspective: When you get severe head trauma, your brain swells, and as the skull encloses the brain, the only way for the pressure to go is through the foramen magnum, which causes herniation (such as uncal herniatiation) and death because of the incredible pressure and anoxia to the brainstem. By performing trepanning, the increased pressure is released at the site of the new hole you created, rather than the foramen magnum, and though this may injure the cortex, importantly the brainstem is spared from injury. What makes the procedure so amazing is that it's not so simple as boring a hole in the head. First, a band would have to be stretched around the forehead, as the vasculature around the skull is so vast that bleeding from the procedure could kill you. You know this if you ever got a severe gash on your head/forehead. Second, the holes would have to be drilled into the skull with stones of higher hardness than the skull, and then that portion of skull would have to be lifted. Then, the dura matter of the meninges would have to be cut, to allow the brain to swell through the hole. Lastly, after the swelling goes down however many hours later, the skin would have to be replaced and the wound closed, meaning that they couldn't just cut the flap of skin off completely, as it would still need a blood supply, not to mention the incredible risk of infection at all parts of this procedure.

Old-school, hand operated c-section "chainsaws" are one of the most metal things ever. Look it up, I dare you.

This is a better type of reaction video

Fun fact! Before laparoscopic techniques like belly banding or gastric sleeving (I had it. It works. 135lb in 2 years.), the usual weight loss surgery, aside from liposuction, was to literally wire the patient's jaws shut. Once you lose the weight, they unwire it. A touch less drastic than sewing one's lips together.

Egyptians also used honey as an antiseptic. Because of its incredibly high viscosity, bacteria cannot penetrate it. Medical practitioners at that time observed that honey doesn’t rot like other foods and organic matter typically did. At most, honey only crystallized as it aged. Though such ancient civilizations likely didn’t know a single thing about germ theory or bacteria, they recognized that rot on food makes a person sick. So, if honey doesn’t rot, a wound covered in it won’t be able to go septic. This was one of the first documented cases of a truly effective antiseptic bandage.

Trepanning was apparently sometimes used to treat depressed skull fractures& may have been thought helpful with headaches, epilepsy,& other physical or mental maladies. In any case there are skulls that show several completely or partially healed repeat "surgeries". The vast majority have just one, maybe two unhealed,partially, or completely healed spots. I'm not aware of any researcher subscribing to the unlikely idea any type of actual brain surgery was attempted. Many skulls show little or no healing, suggesting some patients didn't survive the procedure for an appreciable amount of time. I'm amazed anyone survived even one such treatment at all.

On the one hand this guy actually adds to the video unlike most reaction channels buthe still shows uninterrupted footage from other KZbinrs.

11:40 It's like he's saying "You really like that internet? You guys are freaks, but I'll go along with it."

My understanding is that trepanning is thought to have been used to relieve inter-cranial pressure brought on by fluid buildup. When evidence of it was first discovered, it was assumed that the holes, which often were smoothed around the edges, were evidence of some sort of barbaric ritual, perhaps to make drinking cups from the skulls of the dead (enemies, presumably), until it was realized that the smoothing wasn't the result of polishing, but rather of healing. Meaning that it must've been a ritual or medical procedure which was routinely *survived.*
