This piece is a pretty good (though a bit all over the place) survey of the history of surgery. My main nitpick is that it's a bit Western-centric in terms of its narrative. William Harvey was predated by ~400 years by Ibn al-Nafis (though I think Harvey's discovery was based on independent work, though I may be wrong since I haven't checked any primary sources on this), who also discovered Galen's mistake. Al-Zahrawi also had an early (10th century) treatise of surgery and surgical instruments [^1]. And the famous al-Razi (Rhazes) also had a treatise on urological procedures (as well depicting the devices for performing some of them)[^2]. It's not as if they were unknown in Europe either, Vesalius published a translation of Rhazes.
