  • Henry Widenham Maunsell (born in Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland on 22 February 1845, died 21 February 1895) was an early colonial surgeon, first in Australia (briefly) and then in New Zealand where his skilled and innovative surgery gained both national and international recognition. His untimely death in London at the age of 49, from influenza, ended an outstanding career. At a time when surgery was limited by the twin fears of shock and infection, Maunsell was among the first to use the antiseptic technique newly introduced by Joseph Lister, and to operate for internal disorders of the pelvis, abdomen, skull and brain. Among his original contributions was a technique for excising bowel tumours and joining the cut ends to restore continuity. He also originated a flap method of amputating the tongue and a new technique for cleft palate operation in which he used woodcarver’s tools when reconstructing the bony defect in the hard palate. He also undertook a world-first operation on the hind brain (cerebellum) to relieve pressure from a life-threatening expanding cyst. (en)
