This historical retrospective explores the case of King Edward VII’s appendicitis at the time of his planned coronation in 1902, as well as the contributions of the king’s surgeons Frederick Treves and Joseph Lister, towards his medical care. The history of appendicitis, as well as a view of the king’s medical management in the lens of modern surgical and sociopolitical contexts, is also examined.
