Excerpt from The Surgical Treatment of Disfigurements and Deformities of the FaceA Brief Review of the Development of Reparative Plastic Surgery.It is often forgotten that, until the revival of plastic operations upon the face about the year 1800, reconstructions of lost areas of tissue and readjust ments of textural relations by operation had been practically unknown to the scientific world for a couple of centuries. The operative methods of Tag liacozzi at Bologna, detailed in his book, published in 1597, and the methods employed for many centu ries in India for restoring mutilations of the nose had been forgotten or disbelieved. Carpue in Eng land and Graefe in Germany aroused surgical atten tion to plastic surgery in the second decade of the nineteenth century. It was rhinoplastic operations that were particularly advocated by these surgeons and their colleagues, and which gave birth to a knowledge of the physiological possibilities of repa rative surgery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
