Claudius Henry Mastin was born on June 4, 1826 at Huntsville, Alabama, to Francis Turner Mastin and Ann Elizabeth Caroline (Levert). His paternal grandfather had emigrated from Wales to Maryland; his maternal grandfather was chief surgeon of Rochambeau's fleet.
Mastin attended Greenville Academy at Huntsville and later the University of Virginia. Returning to Huntsville, he began the study of medicine under Dr. John Y. Bassett, an accomplished physician and anatomist. He received the degree of M. D. in 1849 from the University of Pennsylvania. After brief periods of practice at Huntsville, and Nashville, Tenn. , he went to Europe where he attended lectures at the University of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and the University of France in Paris.
In 1854 he settled for practice in Mobile, Ala. , in association with an uncle, Dr. Levert. From the first he devoted himself to surgery and in time became the leading operator of his section. Although a general surgeon, he was particularly interested in genito-urinary surgery, for which purpose he devised a number of instruments. From 1854 to 1857 he was employed by the United States Marine Hospital Service in Mobile and in 1855 he was appointed surgeon to the Mobile City Hospital. In 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War, he was commissioned as a surgeon in the Confederate army and served as medical director, first on the staff of Gen. Leonidas Polk and later with Gen. Braxton Bragg and Gen. G. T. Beauregard. He was the chief medical officer at the battle of Shiloh. Returning to Mobile after the war, he resided there until his death. Mastin was an organizer of the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, which held its first meeting in 1888. He was an original fellow of the American Surgical Association and its president in 1890-91, and was a member of the Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association. One of the organizers of the American Genito-Urinary Association, he was president in 1895-96. He was active in the affairs of the alumni association of the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania and in 1874 delivered the annual address.
Mastin was a pioneer in the employment of metallic sutures and is credited with being the first to use silver wire for ligating the external iliac artery for aneurism of the femoral artery. This operation was performed in June 1866. About the same time he employed silver wire for the closure of a vesico-vaginal fistula. To him is largely due the credit for the erection of the monument to Dr. Gross in Philadelphia. He made a notable address upon the unveiling in 1895. His writings are mainly journal articles published in the transactions of the societies to which he belonged. Among the more notable are: Inguinal Aneurism: Successful Ligation of External Iliac Artery by Means of Silver Wire (1866), Internal Urethrotomy as a Cure for Urethral Stricture (1871), Chronic Urethral Discharges (1872), New Method of Treating Strictures of the Urethra (1873), Causes and Geographical Distribution of Calculous Diseases (1877), and Hernia, a Comparison of the Various Methods Employed for its Cure (1889).
