Abstract (English): This article commemorates the 140th anniversary of the first documented antiseptic laparotomy in Chile, a decisive moment that marked the beginning of modern surgery in the country. Surgical progress in the 19th century was achieved through the gradual control of bleeding, pain, and infection. In Chile, this transformation was driven by physicians trained in Europe, particularly Dr. Manuel Barros Borgoño, who introduced Lister’s antisepsis at San Juan de Dios Hospital. The performance of the first laparotomy for intestinal obstruction became a turning point in national surgical practice. This work revisits a key date in Chilean medical history and pays tribute to the pioneers of scientific surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo conmemora el 140 aniversario de la primera laparotomía antiséptica documentada en Chile, un momento decisivo que marcó el inicio de la cirugía moderna en el país. El avance quirúrgico del siglo XIX se consolidó mediante el control progresivo del sangrado, el dolor y la infección. En Chile, esta transformación fue impulsada por médicos formados en Europa, en particular el Dr. Manuel Barros Borgoño, quien introdujo la antisepsia de Lister en el Hospital San Juan de Dios. La realización de la primera laparotomía por obstrucción intestinal representó un punto de inflexión en la práctica quirúrgica nacional. Este trabajo recupera una fecha esencial en la historia médica chilena y rinde homenaje a los pioneros de la cirugía científica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
