Abstract

The period of the Renaissance is considered one of the most revolutionary stages in the history of humanity and especially in Europe. Culture, arts and sciences undergo revolutionary changes that also affect medical knowledge and, by extension, surgery. The surgical advance partly is due to the frequent and almost continuous wars that affect the European component where it is necessary to solve the wounds that are produced by the weapons used in the conflicts, which on the other hand are used new technology and means of destruction They produce other types of injuries, especially caused by firearms and by the use of gunpowder that makes them different from the sharp and sharp weapons previously used. Knowing the characteristics of weapons also leads to doing so of injuries and understanding the therapeutic treatments used. Two figures stand out in this era as are the surgeons Ambrosio Paré and Dionisio Daza Chacón, militants each on each side facing each other.
