Carrel-Dakin technique, which consisted of regular irrigation through rubber tubes placed in the wounded area. (Ww1)

During the war, surgery techniques such as removing dead tissue resulted in fewer amputations than at any time. To treat bacterial infections, penicillin or streptomycin were administered for the first time in large-scale combat.(WW2)
