Sir Henry Wade PRCSE FRSE DSO CMG (18 December 1876 – 21 February 1955) was a Scottish military and urological surgeon.

In September 1899, he was appointed house physician under Sir Thomas Fraser at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

[2] In 1900, in response to a national call for volunteer doctors to serve in the Boer War, Wade enlisted as a civilian surgeon and was posted to join the Royal Scots Fusiliers at the 1st General Hospital in Wynberg.

Robertson and Wade demonstrated bacteria in these sections and mistakenly concluded that these were 'the determining factor' in causing cancer.

[8] He soon established an international reputation for his work, forming a close collaboration with pioneering urologist Professor Hugh H. Young (1870–1945) of Baltimore, whom he visited in 1920.

[11] In Palestine, Wade observed that many fatalities among the wounded resulted from surgical shock caused by the long journeys to base hospitals.

[12] Fellow medical officers and he encouraged the adoption of the Thomas splint and persuaded General Allenby to authorise its mass production.

He adopted the relatively new radiological technique of contrast pyelography, and in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, he developed a dedicated X-ray diagnostic theatre in which this could be performed under general anaesthesia.

[1] With his friend and colleague David Wilkie, he established a large private practice in Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh.

His proposers were Arthur Logan Turner, James Watt, David Wilkie, and Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer.

She died suddenly on 12 December 1929, a week after a straightforward operation, performed by David Wilkie, to remove a uterine fibroid.
