Per Heirs 1762: “Like his father, John Collins Warren, and his grandfather, John Warren, [he] also entered the medical profession and received his medical degree from Harvard. After receiving his degree in 1832, he spent the following two years studying with the great physicians of Europe before returning to Boston to enter practice with his father. In 1846 he was elected one of the visiting surgeons to Massachusetts General Hospital and later that year assisted his father in the first public demonstration of surgical anesthesia.” Heirs 1762.1: “One of the most important American contributions to surgery in the 19th. century. One of the members of the Harvard medical dynasty, Warren trained under the leading surgeons of Europe. He devised an innovative operation for fissure of the hard and soft palates. A full account of this operation is given in this book, in which he refers to 100 operations of such fissures performed by him. This volume is especially significant for the insight it provides into American surgery in the Civil War era.” Packard tells us J. Mason Warren saw the works of Astley Cooper and Charles Bell in London; Syme and Liston in Edinburgh, and worked under Louis in Paris (along with Jackson, Bowditch, and Holmes from Boston, and Gerhard and Pepper from Philadelphia). He also studied under Dupuytren, Lisfranc, and Roux. Warren performed the first rhinoplasty reported in the USA (see G-M 5743.3).…
