Although the exact purpose of the machine is unclear, it was most likely used during surgical treatment of patients suffering from epilepsy. An electrode would be attached to the machine, which would help the surgeon to locate a lesion for removal, and also ensure that an undamaged part of the brain was not about to be removed. The device is clearly handmade, and is most likely an early prototype or precursor to machines used in later deep brain recording techniques.^^^^","Robertson; James Sloan Mutrie (1905-1978); neurosurgeon","c. 1960s",2001/3,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Medical Instrument","Length: 19.2 cm ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Glass; metal; plastic; wood",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"3D,James Sloan Robertson,Neurosurgery,Visualization","https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/ea9462ef25cb0c974bd7cf00e685f08e.jpg,https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/6aa52c8a9046fe511d0012e44e8e3e61.jpg,https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/98e657db1ae353a038790699dc48ec2f.jpg,https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/d6cbf98f95e1141da5227f991a6d141a.jpg","Physical Object","Museum and Artwork",1,0 88,https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/88,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Hey Saw","Hey's saw, ebony and metal, c 1860s.

Although the exact purpose of the machine is unclear, it was most likely used during surgical treatment of patients suffering from epilepsy. An electrode would be attached to the machine, which would help the surgeon to locate a lesion for removal, and also ensure that an undamaged part of the brain was not about to be removed. The device is clearly handmade, and is most likely an early prototype or precursor to machines used in later deep brain recording techniques. James Sloan Robertson was one of the first modern neurosurgeons in the UK. After graduating in medicine from the University of Glasgow in 1920, he worked as a surgeon at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He then trained in Canada for a year under renowned neurosurgeon, Wilder Penfield, at the Neurological Institute, Montreal. During the Second World War, Robertson worked as a specialist in neurosurgery at the EMS Hospital in Killearn. He was one of the men behind the creation of the Institute of Neurological Sciences at Glasgow. ^^",,,,,,,,"Biphasic Stimulator",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"3D,Instrument,Neurosurgery,Visualization",https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/files/original/5cd55766308f40522e0b040126708513.png,,"Visualising Medical Heritage",1,0 1297,https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/1297,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Animation on First Brain Tumour Removal","In 1879, Barbara Watson came under the care of William Macewen, presenting with a large tumour over the left eye. Macewen tended to Miss Watson with his well-known skill and compassion, but little did he know that this case would become a world first in neurosurgery. At this time, there were no methods of imaging the body non-invasively- Rontgen did not discover X-rays until 1895. Therefore, determining the dimensions of brain lesions relied on the practitioner's observations of the patient's symptoms alone. This would have required an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Thankfully, Macewen was well-read on the current theories on the brain at that time. Miss Watson truly could not have asked for a better surgeon to help her. Due to Miss Watson's frequent convulsions, Macewen suspected that the tumour above the left eye was in fact passing through the skull into the brain. Hence, he decided to cut into the mass and follow its trajectory. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the tumour did indeed pass through the skull and was putting pressure on the dura mater. Macewen successfully removed the tumour, under antiseptic conditions, and closed the wound. Miss Watson survived the operation and died some years later from kidney problems completely unrelated to this case. This case became the first successful removal of a brain tumour in the world. ^^",,,,,,,,"Portrait of William Macewen
