Printed on acid-free paper Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) For Camilla and Charlotte Acknowledgements T he concept of this book was conceived many years ago when Barend Haeseker was one of my assistants during his training in plastic surgery. He is perhaps the world’s leading historian and a prolifi c writer in Dutch on the subject of plastic surgery, and it is to his enthusiasm, knowledge and help with this collection of vignettes that I am greatly indebted. I am very grateful to Penelope Hopwood for typing and retyping the text as well as crossing swords with me on the grammar and punctuation. Finally my thanks are also due to family members of various pioneers, the librarians and archivists at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the Wellcome Collection and the Sanvenero-Rosselli Foundation for permission to use photos and illustrations that are not in the public domain. vii Contents 1 Pre-nineteenth-Century Surgery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 2 Nineteenth-Century Surgery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 3 Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach (1792–1847) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 4 Sir William Ferguson (1808–1877) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 5 Twentieth-Century Surgery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 6 Robert Abbe (1851–1928) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 7 Jacques Joseph (1865–1934) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 8 Otto Lanz (1865–1935) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 9 Erich Lexer (1867–1937) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 10 Hippolyte Morestin (1869–1919) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35 11 Vilray P.
