Consider this: A surgeon can save the life of a hemorrhaging patient by placing one finger over a bleeding artery, followed by suturing the hole in the blood vessel. An anesthesiologist can save your life by treating airway obstruction with as little as one finger, thereby maintaining safe oxygen flow in and out of your lungs.

Until the 1870s Cesarean section surgical technique to control bleeding remained crude, and did not include surgical suture closure. In 1882 the German obstetricians Dr. Adolf Kehrer and Dr. Max Sänger developed methods for preventing uterine bleeding by using suture (stitches) to close the wound.
