Abstract
This historical commentary explores the evolution of bladder and kidney stone surgery from antiquity to the Renaissance. Starting with the Hippocratic prohibition against stone surgery, the article reviews early techniques described by Celsus, Arabic medical doctrines, and the influence of itinerant lithotomists like Frère Jacques. It emphasizes the ethical debates around surgical invasiveness and highlights key developments, such as Cheselden’s suprapubic operation. The discussion integrates references to notable figures, their procedures, and the sociocultural reception of stone surgeons across centuries. Rare illustrations and excerpts from Pepys’ diary provide additional context for patient experience during early urologic surgery.
