Of the four landmarks in medical history given below, which one was the first to take place?

Question

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgery is the correct answer because its origins date back to ancient times. Sushruta, an ancient Indian physician often called the Father of Surgery, performed complex reconstructive procedures like rhinoplasty as early as 600 BCE. In contrast, the other medical landmarks are products of the 20th century. The first successful organ transplant occurred in 1954, the first successful coronary bypass surgery was performed in 1960, and the first test tube baby was born in 1978. Therefore, plastic surgery precedes the other three options by over two thousand years.
