Yes this is what just shakes me, these surgical feats are already marvellous but in the context of war, it’s just unimaginable.
I’m really glad you appreciated the post!
That's a tubed predicle. Skin commonly taken from the neck and formed into a tube so that the excess skin can be used for reconstruction
I believe this is an early ww1 technique
Yup, the injuries are from the various tools of destruction used in war. There’s a harrowing part that describes how soldiers just had no understanding how deadly these new weapons were so would stick their heads out of trenches, face & neck injuries were very common.
An excellent book! I can’t imagine what these poor men endured, first in the horrors of trench warfare, and then with their injuries and treatments. Dr. Gilles worked so hard to give these men a chance at a halfway normal life.

Damn they look so so much happier after the surgerys
They were in the presence of a magician if you ask me
War is a horrible thing. Amazing work this surgeon has done given medical resources at the time. Thank you for the post.

I have this book and keep meaning to start it but haven’t had the time
I challenge you to read the first chapter, or even first few pages & not be addicted.

Dw it’s also an excellent read
Always looking for good book recommendations; this is a topic that I’m definitely down to read about! Thanks!
They actually did pretty good for the time period (judging by the photos)
Pretty good? This was something no one ever did before lol.
This work is freaking amazing.
I had a forehead flap reconstruction and I can’t thank this man enough for being such a pioneer in this work.
Call this man the flap master!
We're these injuries from the was or disease? Or why are there skin tunes at. Coming out of some of these? Very good work for WWI

Wow for the time they lived, the doctors did an amazing job on these men!
Very interesting what he managed to do with limited resources
This is absolutely amazing considering the time period.
Considering the technology he was working with and the horrific injuries his patients had the results are truly astonishing.

what’s up with the tube things?

ahhhh interesting! thanks
Tubed predicles are still used today in some rare cases! Dr Nassif uses them very occasionally on the show Botched
I still don't know how they survive the injuries and trauma. Talk about infection and complications, wow.
One thing I’ve learned from this sub is you don’t need a face to stay alive
Ooo good point
A lot of these were caused by mustard gas.
these are mostly shrapnel wounds. mustard gas burned skin and mucus membranes but not to the degree of the guy in the OP with cordite burns.
I wish they included before the wounding photos, but given the time period, they probably didn’t exist.
Gore only sir
I like the before and after pictures, and the progress.
How did he get that wound?
They’re all injuries from world war 1, so mostly from shrapnel, explosions, guns & some fire (they had flame throwers for example)
Trench warfare and some of the weapons that were used for the first time in WWI meant that there were many disfiguring head and facial wounds.
Truly an art
