War was definitely a central factor in the development of surgery in Britain since the c1000.

Explanation:

War pushed developments on surgery with practices such as plastic surgery, blood transfusions, X-rays, transplants, as well as the use of lasers and radiation.

For example, during medieval times surgery was performed by unskilled men, but the constant warfare led to lots of progress in surgery, including wounds treatment, cauterization, using wine as an antiseptic, opium as a painkiller, the development of tools for amputations, and manuals on the subject for army surgeons.

The impact of WW1 and WW2 led to the development of Mobile X-rays, Blood transfusions, Skin grafts, and antibiotics.
