Read in Section on Neurology and Psychiatry, Southern Medical Association, Twenty-Ninth Annual Meeting, St. Louis, Missouri, November 19-22, 1935. "The literature, particularly in times of war, abounds in case reports, and clinical, pathological, physiological and statistical studies of gunshot wounds of the vertebrae and spinal cord. It is an interesting fact that the first operations for lesion of the spinal cord ever performed were done by Geraud and Louis in 1750 and 1792, respectively, for gunshot wounds, nearly a hundred years before Horsley's famous laminectomy for tumor.* Even in the early period when vertebral surgery for fracture, for Pott's disease and for tumor was being condemned as useless and barbarous (the details of this controversy were set forth with great faithfulness in the series of papers by Chipault and the lengthy reviews of White and Lloyd), many writers were urging that most gunshot wounds of the spinal cord be operated upon (Vincent, Prewitt, Alessandri and Mingazzini. With the rapid development of neurological surgery in the past thirty years, the operation of laminectomy has become standardized and recognized as a relatively simple, though arduous procedure. The experience of the World War led to a general consensus of opinion that gunshot wounds of the spinal cord, particularly those in which the cord was compressed by missiles, fragments of bone or blood clot, should be treated by early and radical operation, with removal of all foreign bodies from the spinal canal. Notable among the numerous papers on the subject are those of Frazier, Craig, Hull, Krause, Symonds, Holmes and Mauclaire. *According to Chipault "Chirurgie de la moelle et des racines medulairs. Rev. de Chir., 12: 685, 1892) de Bazy performed a laminectomy for tumor in December, 1886, ten months before Horsley's operation. Cobb Pilcher (1904-1949), "a brilliant neurosurgeon and protege of Barney Brooks, established and developed the Division of Neurologic Surgery at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. A native of Nashville, Pilcher entered Vanderbilt University at the age of 14 and completed his M.D. degree at the very young age of 22. From Vanderbilt, he went to Harvard and trained with renowned neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing. He returned to Vanderbilt in 1928 and completed his training under the guidance of Barney Brooks. He also worked with Percival Bailey at the University of Chicago and Ernest Sachs at Washington University in St. Louis. Cobb Pilcher was a prolific writer and an active researcher. Tragically, he died unexpectedly on September 22, 1949." VUMC Historical Images and Biographies.
