In the early 19th century, the doctors had no uniforms, and they would perform surgery in their street clothes. Quite often the doctors clothing became stained with body fluids and blood of the patients they were handling. Those doctors who wanted to protect their personal clothing would start wearing butchers apron, when starting with some surgical procedures. These slowly gave way to surgical uniforms.
