Orphaned at the age of 8 and raised by a distant relative, he attended Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia (1824) and graduated with an MD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1831. Later he eventually took a position as an assistant to Dr. Thomas Harris at the Medical Institute of Jefferson College. At the age of 30, he became the Chair of Surgery at the Jefferson Medical College and held this position from 1841 to 1856, when he resigned because of gout and lung disease. He operated on hundreds of patients to repair deformities and became the first surgeon in 1846 to administer ether anesthesia in Philadelphia. He is best known for the "Mütter Flap" which he used in order to treat burn victims; the grafting procedure is still used today. Mütter's main specialty was to help people who were "deformed", people that were categorized as monsters. Some of these people were born that way, other were born "normal", but their bodies had slowly turned them into "monsters", as tumors laid siege to parts of their bodies. For those patients, death was a risk they happily took in the surgical room for the chance to bring some level of peace and normality to their mangled faces or agonized bodies. In France, these kinds of surgeries Mütter specialized in were called Opérations plastiques, later called "Reconstructive surgery". Performing these surgeries, Mütter administered anesthesia to his patients. He was the first American surgeon to use it on patients. During his life, Mütter collected artifacts relating to surgery, which he used to show his students when teaching. These ranged from illustrations and wax models to actual specimens of human anatomy. The collection formed the basis for the Mütter Museum, which opened in 1863 in Philadelphia. The museum has a collection of more than 25,000 specimens assembled by Mütter. Today, it includes a vertebra of John Wilkes Booth, a piece of Albert Einstein's brain, a cancerous growth from the mouth of President Grover Cleveland and the livers and plaster cast of the Siamese twins Chang and Eng.
