Al Zahrawi performed thyroidectomy in 952 CE. He is reported to have used catgut and cotton sutures in closing surgical wounds. He recognised pain as a symptom and not a disease. He performed tracheostomy as an elective procedure and described bandaging technics.
Among his inventions: the syringe for bladder irrigation, the vaginal speculum, and plaster for bone setting. Al Jurjani (d. 1136 CE) described the relation between goitre and exophthalmos. Al Razi was the first to use gut sutures for intestinal repair.
