Özet
Purpose: In the nineteenth century, important discoveries were made about anesthesia applications and bacteriology, and these advances paved the way for successful results in amputation and war surgery. The aim of this study is to investigate the mortality rates of surgical operations and various injuries in the first hospitals of the Red Crescent, established in the second half of this century. Materials and methods: During the research process, Ottoman Turkish, English and French reports and archives were examined and the data obtained were grouped according to injury sites, major surgeries and other surgical applications and their comparative analyzes were performed. Results: A total of 39011 people were treated in Red Crescent hospitals during the war period of nearly one year and detailed data were available for 12516 (32,08%) of whom. The overall mortality rates were 13.75% (913/6638) for internal diseases and infections, and 6.04% (355/5878) for surgical diseases and injuries. Mortality rates in 192 patients with detailed data on surgical treatment were 24.3% (17/70) in amputations, 18.2% (8/44) in resections, 34.1% (14/41) in fractures, and 15.4% (2/13) in disarticulations and 28.6% (2/7) in other surgical interventions. Conclusion: During the Ottoman-Russian War, Turkish physicians worked with a large number of foreign physicians who were educated in different countries and laid the foundations of modern medicine in our country with the experiences they gained. This study includes data from the first examples of aseptic surgery and anesthesia-guided surgical procedures in our country.
