Stanton K. Livingston was the country's foremost authority on the maggot therapy of war wounds in the years following World War I. His contributions to the literature, including his methodology for raising flies and applying their maggots, are discussed. Prior to the antibiotic era, maggot therapy was the most effective means of promoting wound healing, and Livingston's research, albeit poorly reported by modern standards, was responsible for preserving the lives and limbs of hundreds of veterans.
斯坦顿·K·利文斯顿是第一次世界大战后的几年里该国战争伤口蛆虫疗法的首要权威。文中讨论了他对相关文献的贡献，包括他饲养苍蝇及其蛆虫应用的方法。在抗生素时代之前，蛆虫疗法是促进伤口愈合的最有效手段，尽管按照现代标准来看利文斯顿的研究报告不佳，但它拯救了数百名退伍军人的生命并保全了他们的肢体。
