Synopsis
This book is an assemblage of excerpts from surgical texts written in the 1800s. At the time, Italian surgeons were highly skilled in autoplasty, the art of reconstructing missing or damaged body parts. As evidence, the author offers firsthand accounts of successful surgeries performed in the field. One such case is the removal of a cancerous tumor from a 40-year-old woman's face, followed by the reconstruction of her cheek and lip. The author argues that this and similar procedures demonstrate the dexterity of surgeons in the period and challenge the widely held belief that Italian surgeons were inferior to their European counterparts. The text concludes that these accounts not only illuminate the history of medicine in Italy but also provide valuable insights into the potential of autoplasty techniques.
