Cutting away a part of the skull was used to release pressure on the brain when it swelled. Head trauma can cause brain swelling.
Ziggahbot yeah the did that I one of the Saw movies. Jigsaw had a chunk of his skull removed to reduce pressure on his brain due to swelling.
also allow you to remove pieces of skull that wear pointing inward following a head trauma
Encephalopathy, Swelling of the brain that is almost always fatal. The only cure is to cut away a peice of the skull, which relives pressure.
Malala Yousafza is a case of this procedure
In Celtic Ireland they would drill a hole in the skull when you had a headache because they believe there was a demon inside the head.
Nowadays yeah but back then?
I’m surprised he didn’t mention the procedure of cutting teenager’s Adam’s apple when their voice started to change to try to keep their voice high pitched for the church chorus, since chorus kids’ families got rewards like food or clothing. The procedure usually didn’t work, of course, and it only ended up with the kid either bleeding out or not being able to speak at all.
That or the testicles. They were called Castrati.
Ah yes, the old times

other reactors start screeching when he gets to the eyeball straw part,so thank you for being reasonable human being and reacting normally.
I dunno, screeching is a normal reaction like..ow
@@fandomguy8025 it's still annoying to watch,plus alot of reactors exaggerate.
Fandom guy Do you screech when you see a disturbing video? No, no you don’t.
@@flamo2666 You don't know me. Point is, there is no such thing as reacting normally, every person has their own reaction depending on what they have dealt with. Though if screeching is the most common reaction maybe it is more normal than you think
Fandom guy if you saw that irl then yeah, but a video? The only time I can imagine someone shriek while watching a video would be if you’re around friends or people like in movies.
Dear Mr. Terry,
We are able to tell the difference between war injuries and trepanning. War injuries usually show signs of fractures around a ragged hole, while trepanning is very symmetrical, with smoothed edges, and sometimes even done in a pattern. Trepanning is so unique in this way it’s hard to confuse it for war injuries. Trepanning was done for many reasons, some surgical (they were done to release people of headaches, hallucinations, mental illnesses), while some were done as a way to literally open oneself to the gods/become a shaman or ruler (which is why quite a few skeletons found with trepanning are wrapped very ceremonial, and treated with care).
It’s an incredible history I wish more people were aware of. I highly suggest doing more research on it!
That's really horrifyingly interesting.
Also interestingly horrifying.
Far cry: primal has a great example of trepanning and its uses. One of the rival tribe’s leaders has a brain disease due to his cannibalism, causing inflammation and horrible pain. The only way to relieve the pressure and pain is trepanning.
Hfgg ib even more horrifyingly interesting is that most people lived afterwards! They see bone regrowth around the edges of the hole. Some people believe that most people who died from trepanning didn’t actually die from the surgery, but from infection afterwards (people suspect this because there are very few unfinished holes. It’s usually round, smooth and symmetrical. Some think that even after death they continue to carve the hole, so it’s a debate).
Imagine people being skilled enough to carve open a human skull with a sharpened rock, but not damage the brain underneath. Literal cave men had the steady hands of modern surgeons.
Josh Callejas even in today’s medicine, we “trepan”. When there is swelling or a build up of pressure/blood in the skull, they drill a hole a few cm away from the temple and release that pressure. If you’ve watched any medical drama usually there’s at least one episode where it’s done. People who lived 30,000 years ago came up with a procedure that we still use today. Amazing! I haven’t played far cry yet, even though I own the game. Maybe I’ll give it a try though. Did the guy get the disease from being a cannibal or from other people eating him? I’m curious 😅
I can't help but feel the nose job was for breathing, if not... well standards back in the day were low. Like I'm a 11/10 low
Actually in ancient India, slicing off someone's nose was a common punishment for criminals,this surgery was to somewhat help rebuild the nose of someone who was punished like that
No furries allowed

Rumman47 no he’s not, my brother was molested by a furry
@@ethanbecerra8708 That doesn't mean they are all bad though. If you were assaulted by a gay guy that doesn't mean every other one you meet will assault you.
i prefer the tycho brahe method of fixing a missing nose, just have a wooden peice carved into the shape of a nose, piant it to look roughly skinlike and then stick it on. much less painful than the indian method.
Brahe was an absolute unit though.
It was a copper nose from my memory. Might be wrong
They made holes in skulls for two main reasons: headaches and letting out spirits
That caveman skull surgery sounds like a really appealing way to deal with a massive fkn migraine

I had my appendix removed, that was the MOST painful experience of my life!! I cannot fathom how it would have been to have had my appendix removed back than, or have passed away from it.
it still hurt with anesthesia?
Yes, if you have a nightmare about the procedure ;)
Me too tho. When I was like 11. I got myself locked up a full week on an hospital on the same room with a another child who got third degree burnings on his legs and who constantly shouted very loud because of the pain. For obvious reasons, I couldn't sleep well. With an old TV as the only source of amusement, for like 30 minutes till the doctors toke me to the room again for another 8 hours of nothing. Yup, those were the worst days of my life. Glad I'm here tho, healthy and enjoying life on my little but comfy house :^).

For anyone who is still reading these comments, I wanted to share a little slice of surgery history not covered in this video.
Robert Liston was Famous in his day for being one of the fastest surgeons around, which was good at the time as it limited blood loss and time in pain before the days of aenesthetics. He was a true master of surgery speed-running able to complete operations in unbelievable times such as: Removing a 45 lb tumor in 4 minutes, Amputating a leg in only 150 seconds, and other marvelous feats.
Unfortunately he also has a somewhat less positive world record. He performed a surgery with a 300% mortality rate. 300%. This means that 3 times more people died than there were patients. Let me explain. He performed another leg amputation in just about 150 seconds(patient died of infection), but in his haste also chopped off the fingers of his assistant(died of infection), and was wielding the knife so wildly he sliced the coat of another skilled surgeon that was observing the surgery, who panicked and died believing he had been cut.
And that is the most spectacular failure in surgery history.
I'm sorry but I'm positive that's a myth
That was most likely a myth. Liston was very disliked by his colleagues, since he was a big fan of modern surgical practices (such as sterilization) that ran counter to what the traditional doctors were against at the time
I’m glad we have modern surgery
Yep
Yep

Well; craniectomy (the removing of part of the skull)
Is a common practice to release intracranial pressure from your brain.
It's mostly needed after traumata as like accidents, but in a time where the people beat each other over the heads with sticks such traumata might have been more common and it might really helped some.
Whenever I had surgery I loved the feeling of when they put me to sleep, I remember watching them inject the drug into me and then blackness, I just loved that feeling. I know it's random and weird but it was cool.
Morphine addict in the making :D
Masochist
No that’s not a masochist, enjoying a drug which numbs pain and puts people to sleep is actually the opposite

5:19 I don’t know if it’s been brought up yet, but I believe we can distinguish the difference between a battle wound and the surgery wound.
The surgeries, if I’m not mistaken, show more precise “carvings” to make the hole... while a blow to the head with a weapon would leave behind asymmetrical marks and fractures.
Hope this helps.
Edit: someone beat me to it and already explained it.
This is how desperate I am for new Sam content
Trepanning in prehistory was *wide* spread. Not from injury but intentionally done & cared for afterwords. I highly recommend googling it & looking at the skulls, it's fascinating. Ecspecially seeing how many lived many years post surgery which is incredible considering potential infection
To answer your questions about the skull surgery, I'll share learned about this in school. The theory that was taught in class was that people would have problems in which they'd get massive amounts of pressure in their head that would be quite painful. Basically their brain would throb. And they would do this for the sake of relieving pressure. Turns out this could have been cancer? So uhhh, it wouldn't really work in curing them. But apparently it gave them genuine relief from the pressure at least.
love how he looks at the camera every once in awhile. wholesome.
You should watch "History's worst non-water floods" by Sam O'Nella.
Oh god……the molases………everywhere………MOLASES!
Aaaaah not the molases
Finally a teacher who can take the curser off the god damn screen
But they didn't have stitches back then instead they had ants, they would take ants with big heads cause they to bite skin or flesh them RIP their bodies off effectively closing the wound and the ant heads would effectively become sutures it was painful but it was a effective treatment for wounds.
Couldn’t that cause infection? Cause bugs
Sources? I cant find anything about this besides a UA-cam video about a guy talking about surgery ants for native Americans. The oldies needle can be traced back 25,000 years ago so I don't see why one wouldn't use them. Also, how big of ants are we talking, because most ants can't pierce skin that well.
this guy is just saying shit for clout, i searched online and there wasnt shit talking about surgery ants
I have definitely heard of that, but that was probably just for people with easy access to big ants. Most others probably just stitched them up.
The ERB crew gave you a shout-out in their live stream today. It's at 1:03:13 into the live stream on April 1st and that is no joke! It was great to see them give you some love (and mild, heartfelt criticism)!

I do not know why I keep watching these videos, I’m not especially interested in the topic at the start but there’s good to watch a commentary/reaction channel that actually gives more insight and is just a pure channel. No bullshit. Thank you
I remember watching documentary about said nose job long time ago. It was meant to be for soldiers who were wounded (got their "sniffer" cut off or badly damaged). Funny part: Not sure if it was this Sushruta guy, but they used giant ants as stitches. Aparently, ants would bite into flesh and hold onto it until they die.
Trepanned skulls look a lot more carefully made and symmetrical. I imagine its not hard to tell between injuries and trepanning

I hope you're doing well in these difficult times. I enjoy these reaction videos and I very much enjoy your commentary. So I hope u keep doin ur thing and have a nice stockpile of toilet paper. 👍
honestly i think thats a topic for a real doctor to review like Dr Mike or Dr Hope's Sick Notes^^
I wish I had you as a teacher in any grade, every video of yours I watch, you always know at least a little about every topic covered. Not only that, but you also are invested in every topic which makes it interesting to listen to, which in turn makes it interesting to learn and research about.

"Specifically for the ones being operated on." I'm glad he specified this because the thought of the surgeon being on pain medication for the entire surgery is terrifying.
I love sam o nella. This is the first video of yours i watched. I think youre great too!
This is a better type of reaction video
Trepanning is still performed today, though now it is called a craniotomy. It's is used to treat several illnesses including high intracranial pressure (ICP). ICP is caused by fluid buildup around the brain (Cerebral Edema) or swelling of the brain itself, both of which can cause the brain to become crushed inside the tight confines of the skull. Opening the skull up allows for the fluid to drain or gives the brain room to expand thereby releasing the pressure. ICP can cause numerous psychological symptoms such as confusion or psychosis which is why it is theorized early civilization may have thought trepanning was releasing "evil spirits" when it was performed successfully. Craniotomies are also used for general access to the brain for things like brain surgery. So yeah, those cavemen might not have really understood what was going on but they were pretty close to the mark all things considered.
You're getting better at this!

Even as recently as the 1850's, "surgery" was still a byname for "ordained trauma infliction" The Civil War saw brutal amputations that usually involved literally taking a hacksaw (actually a bone saw, but pretty similar) and cutting the bone off.
Nice reaction, was really hard to watch but your reaction and explaining made me enjoyable :D.

Love your vids keep it up
You should react to Epic history tv, he has an on going series or the napoleonic wars and other series on conflicts like ww1
exactly what we have been waiting for
Great Video. I work as a medical assistant in an eye doctors office that did cataract surgery and I did a fair bit of research about couching so for anyone interested: Couching (the word for it in my language is Starstechen) is so old that it was mentioned in the codex hammurapi, one of the oldest codes of law ever found. The Text in the Codex names the method, what the "surgeon" was to be paid for it (full price for a free man, half price for a slave) and the punishment should the procedure not work (which happened quite a lot). The method was as follows: The patient was sitting upright with someone behind him pressing the patients head against his (the other persons) chest. Then the "surgeon" would poke a needle in the eye and push the lens (which hardens up as the cataract progresses) to the bottom of the eye. They then held it there for a bit in the hope of it not re-emurging (which it did in some cases). If the "surgery" succeded (=if the patient wasn't wounded severly or the eye got infectet or he died or the lens re-emurged) then the patient would have a clear vision with a needed prescription of about +13 Dioptries. When they were given glasses with these lenses they could see somewhat fine. This procedure actually stuck around longer then you'd think with the "surgeons" becoming travelling healers who would come to towns like a circus, do a bunch of cataract couchings in a day and then leave before anyone could develope serious infections. One famous example of people having undergone couching is Johann Sebastian Bach who has it done on both eyes in the year of his death (1750) which just shows how long this "surgery" held up

On the one hand this guy actually adds to the video unlike most reaction channels buthe still shows uninterrupted footage from other UA-camrs.
The ONLY valid reaction youtuber. He actually reacts and teaches you a bit more on the subject unlike Reaction Time who stares at their screen and makes the occasionally rare comment that provides nothing to the video whatsoever.
Trepanning was used to relieve pressure on the brain after some kind of head injury. It's still done today if you get a bad enough concussion or bleeding on the brain or brain swelling, except now they keep the bit they cut out and put it back in later. Releasing the pressure keeps the brain from being hurt by the pressure or swelling and pressing against the skull or the brain stem.
all those games yooo!!! really cool collection
A reaction video that is actually enjoyable :)

Trepanning was usually used to 'release the evil spirits' aka illness (anthropology and psychology).
was really cool of you to not skip the ad at the end of the video. Consider me subbed
Holes drilled in heads are used to release pressure buildup in the skull. We still do this today, just with smaller holes and plugs.
I don’t know what I love more, the teacher, or the awkward smile at the beginning of each older video
On the trepanning thing though. The way they notice it's probably a medical procedure is that the holes often show clear signs of healing.
If it was warfare it could be some kind of mutilation practice like scalping I guess. It could actually help in relieving pressure buildup so it might have sorta worked. And yeah agriculture brought with it warfare. And cultures that focus on different niches could live somewhat peacefully together.
An example perhaps is the Viking norse and the contemporary Sami in Norway. They probably fought sometimes but there wasn't a huge rivalry between them because the nomadic sami lived on keeping reindeer and the Norse were a settled agricultural fishing and raiding based economy. Completely different language and culture but they seemed to mostly have given eachother looks.
Maybe the sami didn't have anything they wanted. Different nisches.
I know sometimes when I have a headache I want a hole in my head to release presser
The little quiet part at the start is gold
dude, Have you considered live streaming while checking these kinds of videos out, I'd definitely tune in.
I think he used to do that cuz some of these videos have a live chat on them
comparing wounds sustained from fights to trepanning seems kinda dumb when he previously explained how trepanning holes are very distinct
For the Whole in the Head hole surgery some Speculate it was to "Ease the pain or make the person normal, to let evil spritis out". Nowadays it is done to release the pressure to the brain after various traumas.
Pressure can build up inside of skull sometimes its advantageous it release pressure via a hole in the skull
Cutting holes in peoples skulls was often preformed on victims of blunt trauma with serious internal bleeding inside their cranium. This let the blood come out and caused the inside pressure return to normal, thus hindering the brain from slowly getting crushed by the pressure from the blood filling up the cranium.
I remember this medical man/ shaman/ quack featured in our prime time news healing cataracts by applying a dozen or so small dried aqua-blue beans twice the size of a ball-point pen directly into the patient's eyes and then rubbing them vigorously.
The rhinoplasty was mainly for war wounds. Trophy taking of ears, noses, skulls, teeth, and genetalia was very common at least from ancient Egypt to the Vietnam war. The 'robbed' prisoners of war often survived this ordeal, creating a market for surgeons who make new noses for people.
Minor notes-
Trepanning: not just common, but surprisingly survivable. We don't have much written record of really old trepanning back when it was a flint knife and cutting the hole in the skull and closing the scalp back over it, but it continued until the Greeks and Romans when we do have written records (and better tools, including special drills that look kind of like modern hole saws)... And while it would be recorded as treatment for a variety of injuries or ailments, most common was for brain swelling, like from head trauma, to give the brain space to swell. Drilling or cutting a hole in your skull is *still* the primary treatment for various conditions that cause your brain to swell. Holes in skulls are the ultimate "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Minor detour back to prehistory, 6,500 BC puts it well after the inventions of beer and mead, so alcohol as an anaesthetic is possible, though not guaranteed. The more interesting bit is that even in this time, the survival rate is pretty high, with skulls showing that the bone healed, therefore the patient recovered. Depending on the area and time period, that survival rate could be anywhere from 50% to over 80%. Usually, still a hole sawed into your skull using a stone knife. Soooo.... Not fun.
Indian rhinoplasty: nothing much to add, just a clarification. This wasn't cosmetic plastic surgery, but reconstructive. As in not to make your existing nose look better, but to make your current lack-of-a-nose look better. As for reasons why people may not have a nose? Punitive amputation, accidental amputation, disease, birth defect.... Cutting off the nose would be a punishment for a variety of crimes including adultery, and the nose-rotting nature of syphilis is well-known and the reason similar surgeries took off in Italy centuries later (though from the arm instead of the forehead). I mention syphilis not only for that, but also because it was enough of a problem in ancient India that some of the earliest inoculations for it come from there.
Cataract surgery: oh, they would replace it with a lens.
By which I mean glasses.
Can you react to Sam O Nella's Diogenes or Banana republics next?
That'd be cool
Obesitie is the definition of 900s “1st word problems”
You know man, you must be a pretty good teacher
Trepanning was apparently sometimes used to treat depressed skull fractures& may have been thought helpful with headaches, epilepsy,& other physical or mental maladies. In any case there are skulls that show several completely or partially healed repeat "surgeries". The vast majority have just one, maybe two unhealed,partially, or completely healed spots. I'm not aware of any researcher subscribing to the unlikely idea any type of actual brain surgery was attempted. Many skulls show little or no healing, suggesting some patients didn't survive the procedure for an appreciable amount of time. I'm amazed anyone survived even one such treatment at all.
I appreciate the fact that he watched the sponsor as well
