Cheselden, William

(born Oct. 19, 1688, Somerby, Leicestershire, Eng.—died April 10, 1752, Bath, Somersetshire) British surgeon and teacher. His Anatomy of the Human Body (1713) and Osteographia (1733) were both used by anatomy students for nearly a century. His technique for extracting bladder stones through an incision in the side rather than the front (1727) was soon used by surgeons throughout Europe. He also devised a way to surgically create an “artificial pupil” to treat some forms of blindness.
