Background: The details of the public demonstration of the effects of ether that initiated the modern era of surgery and anesthesia are often misreported. Existing published transcripts of the clinical records are incomplete or inaccurate. Methods: The patient notes of Gilbert Abbott were photographed, transcribed, and reviewed. Results: The records are handwritten in “Surgical Records for 1846; Volume 30,” of the Massachusetts General Hospital. The patient was admitted on September 25. The presenting condition was a congenital, mobile, compressible, multilobed, small lesion at the angle of the left mandible, and base of tongue. The operation on October 16 was an attempted ligation of the blood supply to the lesion. The postoperative diagnosis was a vascular lesion (“erectile tumor”). Postoperative management included application of sclerosants. The mass was unchanged in size on discharge on December 7. There is no documentation of the anesthetic administration in the progress note but a retrospective report of the anesthetic is pasted into the Records book. This account reported that the patient did not respond to the initial incision. He moved and cried out during the latter part of the procedure. Although he was aware of the operation taking place, he later said he had not experienced pain. The commentary concluded that the demonstration of the analgesic effectiveness of ether was inconclusive but that subsequently ether was shown to be effective. Conclusions: The surgery on October 16, an unsuccessful ligation of a congenital lymphovascular malformation, was performed under incomplete general anesthesia. Examination of the primary documents may allow for more accurate accounts of circumstances surrounding the discovery of anesthesia.
