Post-Revolution urological kit
RR Auction is also auctioning off a late 19th-century urological set (e.g., for removal of kidney stones) that it says was owned by Henry J. Bigelow. “Henry J. Bigelow,” is inlaid on the top cover. Henry Jacob Bigelow, a friend and colleague of John Collins Warren, was another surgeon instrumental in the early advocacy of anesthesia. He is also remembered for developing the Bigelow maneuver for hip dislocation, a technique for treatment of kidney stones, and his study of Phineas Gage. Bigelow was a successor to John Warren and John Collins Warren as professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.
