Abstract
The beginning of the Industrial and French Revolutions has marked the radical hanges in the methods of warfare. The introduction of mass conscription and the continuous improvement of weapons during the following centuries had a significant impact on the structure and nature of combat injuries, and on the practice of limb amputations accordingly. At the same time, advances in medical technology and great discoveries such as antiseptics and antibiotics contributed considerably to the evolution of this surgical practice. This part of the article examines the development of the art of amputation in connection with warfare from the end of the XVIII century to the present day.
