ABSTRACT

Recently, the Universidad Autónoma of Puebla, Mexico and the Puebla Government reedited Dr. José Joaquín Izquierdo’s facsimile book: Raudón, poblano surgeon from 1810. The original edition appeared in 1949. Izquierdo’s book refers to the early surgical environment in the XVIII century in the city of Puebla and particularized the medical and surgery praxis into the Real Hospital de San Pedro, the great institution that attended the ill for 374 years, and in which the Puebla Medical School (now known as the Faculty of Medicine) was born. The text also details the fight of the provincial surgeon against the Mexico City Protomedicato to achieve authorization as a surgeon and named many epidemiological, medical, therapeutical, and surgical issues. The institutions that edited Izquierdo’s book adjudged that this document had a singular value for knowing some aspects of surgery in Mexico pre- and post-independence life.
