Roman surgeons used tools almost identical to the ones used today. This kit — scalpels with replaceable blades, forceps, hooks, probes, and a spring clamp for a bleeding vessel — was recovered from a house buried at Pompeii. Doctors used tools like these to remove cataracts from the eye, cut out bladder stones, and set broken bones. Many of the designs barely changed for the next fifteen hundred years — and a few would be perfectly familiar to a surgeon today.
